Configuring a Fujitsu M29XXS and Sun Solaris 1.1.X
This document applies to the Fujitsu M2952S, M2954S and M2949S disk drives when configured under Solaris 1.1.X. It is recommended that SDTR negotiation comes from the host and that the number of cache partitions be set to 4. 
User cylinders Spare Cylinders Tracks Sectors/Track 512 Byte Blocks Drive
5044 2 5 186 4,693,462 M2952S
5074 2 9 186 8,498,506 M2954S
4753 2 18 196 16,777,216 M2949S

The disk drive is installed at a unique SCSI ID which can be established using the probe-scsi-all<cr> command at the startup phase to output a SCSI bus inventory.

1. Boot the Sun system then log in under root
2. Enter format<cr> and select the new disk drive from the table that will be output.
3. The type suboption will automatically be entered. Select 'other' drive type then, a number of queries will be output, the majority of which are replied to by entering <cr> to set up the default. The queries below have data entered.
Query M2952S M2954S M2949S
Enter number of data cylinders : 5044 5074 4753
Enter number of heads : 5 9 18
Enter number of data sectors/track : 186 186 196
Enter disk type name : "M2952S" "M2954S" "M2949S"
4. If required, the disk drive can be formatted by entering f<cr> then confirming with y<cr>. Times taken to format are respectively 10, 18 and 35 minutes
5. Select the partition suboption by entering p<cr> and then select the required partition, d, e, f or g.
  M2952S M2954S M2949S  
Enter new starting cyl [0]: 0 0 0 d
Enter number of data cylinders : 4510 2505 1188 e
Enter number of heads :     2376 f
Enter number of data sectors/track :     3564 g
         
Enter new #blocks [0, 0/0/0]: 4510/0/0 2505/0/0 1188/0/0 d
  534/0/0 2505/0/0 1188/0/0 e
      1188/0/0 f
      1188/0/0 g
6. On completion of the above, select the label suboption by entering l<cr> and confirm with a y<cr> then exit from the format program by entering q<cr> twice.
7. Make the file system on the disk drive by entering the command below then confirming that a newfs is to be performed. The value of '*' is the system assigned I.D. of the disk drive and '+' is the partition identifier.
# newfs /dev/rsd*+<cr> M2952S
# newfs -i 4096 /dev/rsd*+<cr> M2954S
# newfs -i 8192 /dev/rsd*+<cr> M2949S
8. Each partition on the disk drive can now be mounted and made available to the users by entering the commands below. The value of '*' is the system assigned I.D. of the disk drive and '+' is the partition identifier.

# mkdir /FUJITSU+<cr>

# mount /dev/sd*+ /FUJITSU+<cr>
