Hi

As srikant said,

# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ

will show the exact size in KB.

However, it seems like 36GB disk

Thanks & Regards

#diskinfo -v

It will yeild following info(from man pages):
Vendor and product ID
Device type
Size (in bytes and in logical blocks)
Bytes per sector
Revision level
SCSI conformance level data

Hi

* Can check the HBA model to whether it supports your new disk capacity..

* if the disk belongs to any VG, then you need to backup the data, remove that PV from VG and upgrade your disk..
