    I believe there is a redbook for AIX admins trying to admin a SUN box.

    Yup - found it at:

    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
