Does anyone know if and or how you can add external hardrives to Sun Solaris 9 or greater systems. Needing to add two additional dedicated storage drives for large image files and mount these drives to the system. Will also need to mirror these two drives for redundancy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
there is no problem in adding external storage. you can use scsi or fcal devices to expand your storage volume. you can mirror the drives with slvm (also known as sds).
You can also you VxVM on Solaris 9 to mirror your disks. You can attach it to an entry level storedge like Sun Storedge 3510/3320 etc too. what's the system you're using? any thoughts you're having of connecting to EMC SAN?
