How to add a scsi disk in RedHat Enterprise Linux v 4
Dear LinuxQuestions.org
We have a RedHat Enterprise Linux v 4 Server and we need to add another scsi disk so that we can put additional data on it. We need the procedures on how to add this additional scsi disk . Lothar Irausquin e-mail: IrausquinL@arubadigital.com |
try fdisk -l to find the new disk path (as in /dev/sdxx)
use fdisk /dev/sdxx to create partition. use mkfs to create a filesystem create mount point make entry in /etc/fstab to mount device. point services to use new directory on the other hand if this is a raid or lvm system it can get a bit more complicated |
Hello frndrfoe,
Thank you for you fast response! I got the following questions: How do you create a mount point and how do you point services to point to the new device? When I shutdown the server and then I put in the new scsi disk, I can boot up the server and then run " fdisk -l " to find the new disk path right? We are not using raid . What is lvm? Do you have an example on how to mount the drive in /etc/fstab ? Thanks in advance, Lothar Irausquin MCSE |
