Theresa,

        You can go to the IBM Redbook site and find the Solaris-->AIX
cross-reference manual at
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/9445fa5b416f6e32852569ae006
bb65f/d3d095d45d9b3177852569ba005657f7?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,solaris.
This should help.

        Good luck!

                Regards,
                Joseph

Subject: Solaris 9 Question for AIX Admins

Hello;

I apologize for posing this question to his forum, however, I think you
all are probably my best resort for assistance.

I am new to Solaris and don't go to training for two weeks. I am
attempting to do some learning on my own with a test server (v880)
....however, I can't figure out how to see the following on Solaris 5.9
(No Veritas Volume Manager):

Physical Disk ---> (Slice?/)Logcal Volume ---> Filesystem layout

I know that on AIX I would do something along the lines of the
following: lspv ---> lsvg ---> lslv

to retrieve the entire psysical-to-logical layout.

On Solaris however, the metastat and prtvtoc commands only seem to list
the disk/logical volume(slice?) information....and
"format--->partiton--->print" does show the disk information, however it
doesn't show the logical volume/filesystem layout. --- 'df -h' does
show the filesystem to logical volume layout but I don't have any idea
what disk/slice these filesystems reside on?

The only thing I want to be able to do is create a couple filesystems on
the internal SCSI disk WITHOUT erasing any data that's already out
there. Seems pretty simple to me....but it's not working out that way.

I hope I've conveyed my question/problem clearly enough. However,
incase I have not I've enclosed an example of what I'm talking about
below this message.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Theresa
