I have a New Ultra 10 with a 9.1 Gig HD running Solaris8. I have plugged in a second (form sun) 9.1 Gig HD on the second IDE controller as described on page 26 of the Sun Ultra 5/10 CD-ROM and Hard Drive Installation Guide part number 805-7115-14.

Howe do I format and mount this disk?

My goal for this disk is to mirror my primary HD so I will have the ability to switch to the mirror in the event of a primary disk problem.
