[Ralf Buchhold]

Hello
in sam | disk and file system all disks (D370 Box with HPUX 11.00)
are available. One new disk has no Bytes free.
I think it is an new disk !! Unused is ok but no bytes free !

Can someone help me ?

The top disk (The Toshiba) is a CD-ROM so you can ignore that. The bottom one (8/4.9.0) doesn't look like it has been pvcreated yet.

Try

# ioscan -Cdisk -fn -H8/4.9.0

Then identify the device file(s) associated with the disk and then run

# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?

Filling in the appropriate numbers

Have you tried to do a pvcreate on it?
It may be that SAM is not up to date and does not "recognize" this disc model
Try manual commands and see what you get

Total Bytes is not the amount of free space on the disk. It is the size of the disk itself. Since this disk is new it may be unformatted hence the size is shown as 0.

Hi Ralph,

I think you got problem with that disk.
Try first insf -e to recreate the device files.
Then try to pvcreate.
After all if diskinfo -b shows 0 B then you have to call the support to replace it.
