Sorry, I left out a step. It may be necessary to do a gpart destroy da1 before the create. Fixed below. --------------- I finally figured this out and figured I should document for posterity... I realized I had not tried to do a probe-scsi from the OBP prompt, so I did that. I got an endless cascade of Base SAS World Wide ID is 0! This must be fixed immediately using set-sas-wwid So digging into this document https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19088-01/v215.srvr/819-3040-18/Disk-vols.html I realized the onboard RAID was messing me up. Following the directions, and the ok> prompt: setenv auto-boot? false setenv fcode-debug? true reset-all Then a ok>show-disks Select the SCSI disk controller (for me it was b) ) ok>select ^Y (inserts the line from show-disks; trim off the /disk) doing ok>show-volumes showed that the disks that I wasn't seeing were listed as disabled (or inactive) volumes. To fix this I deleted each volume ok>0 delete-volume ok>1 delete-volume ok>show-volumes now shows no volumes. Doing a ok>setenv fcode-debug? false ok>reset-all when the system came back a probe-scsi showed the disks now, and when I boot they are in dmesg. I still had to put a VTOC on them since, in my case they were IBM disks, or wiped Sun disks: /sbin/gpart destroy da1 (just in case) /sbin/gpart create -s VTOC8 da1 Then /sbin/gpart add -t freebsd-ufs da1 to create one big partition. Then a newfs as usual and you're good to go! -- Gordon Zaft Province 35 Governor Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity gordonzaft@gmail.com
