If you already have a server running Unixware 2.1.x and you want to add another hard drive, how do you do this? Once that hard drive is added can you copy the main hard drives contents to the newly added hard drive?

thanks!!!

I give you advise based on Unixware 7 which is 100% compatible with Unixware 2.1.
The steps assume you aren't performing hot add.

1. Insert the new dard disk and reboot
2. Type the command
diskadd c#b#t#d#
where c is the controller where disk
been added
b for bus, t for id and d for lun.
(these information could be found when system was re booting)

3. Follow the instructions.
Depending on the purpose of this disk it can be formatted as root disk or format as you main disk and copy accorss.

Good luck
