Example 2: Divide a Secondary Hard Disk Into Two Partitions

In this example, you have a primary hard disk called disk 0 and a second 120 GB hard disk

called disk 1 that you want to divide into two 60 GB partitions.

Step 1: Start up from the hard disk

Start the server from the internal hard disk.

Step 2: Log in to the server

Open a SSH session and log in to the server as root.

Step 3: Use pdisk to find volumes

List all the device maps for the volumes. Type:

pdisk

The session, with example output, looks like this:

pdisk

Top level command (? for help): L

/dev/rdisk3 map block size =512

Step 4: Unmount the secondary hard disk

Use disktool to unmount (or eject) all the partitions of disk 1. To do this, type:

[localhost:~] root# disktool -u disk1 0
