Of course, I will be doing all of this in LabVIEW (just to keep this post slightly on topic :-) At that point I need to be able to access the files, via an assigned drive letter to the UFS disk, as if it were a Windows disk. In other words, I will pull those UFS format disks out of the Solaris box and put them into my multi-bay disk drive Windows box. Much cheaper, much more reliable, and separate runs of data are easily accessible.Īll that data needs to be read, processed, and transferred to a Windows-based storage system. My thought was that if we went to Tbyte SATA drives, we could replace those tapes with 30 disks. The SCSI tape drives are very problematic, very expensive, and random access does not exist. Due to the small size of the SCSI drives, we have to offload data to tapes, and often generate upwards of a hundred tapes on a test. I have finally convinced The Powers That Be to get rid of our very small SCSI drives on our Solaris 10 boxes and replace them with SATA drives. I need some way to map a UFS Solaris drive (ie, assign a drive letter to it) while it is in a Windows XP box. Hopefully the wider audience here might include someone who has experience with this. Unfortunately no one could come up with a solution there (Uwe and Bruce, if you're here, thanks again for trying!). Apologies first: I originally posted this in info-LabVIEW about a month ago.
