RE: [cobalt-users] Add storage - Raq4i

["Michelle Hall-Jones" <support@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What are the suggestions if as Gavin mentioned that there is not an "add
storage" button under the storage GUI? Is there a command or something we
can get to reinstat the "add storage" button - my Raq3i has the button yet
not the Raq4i.

look forward to any suggestions
Michelle

I added a second IDE drive to my RaQ4i by inserting a new drive,
powering up the system, and choosing "add storage"... I enter the volume
name and that's all there is to it.  From then on, whenever you add a
new virtual site, you get to choose which volume it goes on -- "home"
(default disk) or your own new volume.

I have not ever tried it with an external SCSI disk, but from what I was
led to believe way back during SE pre-release training on RaQ4 it should
work the same way with a SCSI drive.  I don't have a SCSI drive to test
it with now...
