The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't use full capcity of 1TB disks

Asked by deepslalli in Sun Solaris, Computer Hard Drives

Tags: Solaris, SATA, Ultra 24

Hi Guys,

I am having a problem with an ULTRA 24 and assigning the full capcity to the disks accept the boot disk.

These disks (including boot disks) are not Sun disks, they are samsung/PC 1TB SATA Disks.

When I try to do a format it tells me to use the manufacture s/w to format the disks. When I do tell it to use Solaris Partitions it gives me a total of 140GB. If I try to increase the partition values (sizes) it tells me it's out of range, so the highest possible partition it gives me is 140GB.

However if start an install of Solaris on one of the HDDs I can specify I want to use all the capcity and it gives me nearly 1TB (good). However, if I then use that disk in the system as secondary drives then it reverts back to 140GB free space!!

Please tell me an easy way of getting the full amount of space for these drives.

Much appreciated if you can!!
