New HDD Installation

UNIX Solaris
1

All,
I am a complete grasshopper when it comes to Unix, so here goes. I have a Solaris 9 server, running two 36GB HDD in a mirrored configuration. I am running low on disk space, and have purchased an additional 145GB HDD. Can anyone point me in the direction to some documentation on how to add this HDD, format, partition, etc? I want to make the whole drive one size, and then move the log files to this HDD. I have found some documentation, but it is all confusing to me as this is my first real Solaris Server experience.
Thank you, and please be gentle.

ok, so i was able to get it to be recognized, and did the following:

  1. format
  2. partition
  3. print
  4. modify (Set disk to all free hog)
    5 yes - continue to create a new partition table based on the above table
    6 yes - Make displayed partition table the current partition
    7 named the partition table
    8 labeld the disk
    9 exit the utility
    10 mkfs /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0S6 <--This is the Slice I used for the whole disk
    11 Successfully creates File System
    12 mount /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s6
    --error: no mount point defined

What am I missing?

the mountpoint...

# mount /dev/dsk/blabla /mountpoint

also don't use mkfs... have a look at "newfs" instead!
