Hi all, I am new to Solaris and I am trying to learn how to use it. One of the things I would really like to do is using live-upgrade.
I decided to try this feature with a x86 box which has currently installed solaris10,and I would like to lu it to SXCEb76. The box has one hard drive with the following layout: 30% of disk space: Windows Xp C: partition 25%: Windows Xp E: partition 20%: Solaris Partition (c0d0p3 I belive, If I correctly understand Solaris namig conventions) The rest of the disk space is unallocated. So I think: let's create a solaris partition with the unallocated space, mount it somewhere and use it to lu the solaris installation. I went to the doc.sun.com downloaded the "System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems"(http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/817-5093/817-5093.pdf) and started to try to figure out how to create a partition.I read the manual and issued a #format /dev/rdsk/c0d0 command I have followed the "how to" up to the fdsik part, which was succesfull. according to the tutorial the next step should be the creation of disk slices for the partition but when I try to #format /dev/rdsk/c0d0 format> partition partition> modify the system says that the current disk has mounted slices and that it cannot proceed, which I find sensible but somewhat disappointing. :P So the questions are: what's wrong with the above outlined way of reasoning? And ,if nothing is wrong, what should I do to allocate that space in order to use it? Thank you in advance for your suggestions! Valerion P.S. thanks also for the wireless drivers! :) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
