Some of the suns, with the lates Solaris OS and a USB PCI card installed, can handle USB disks at USB 2.0 speeds.
mountUSBdrive 2 pcfs readwriteIf you should see something like this
mountUSBdrive 2 pcfs readwrite /usr/sbin/mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2:c /export/home/usbdrive_02 .. for a big disk, this can take a some time mount: No such device or addressit was the wrong port. When you have guessed the right port, you will see someting like this
mountUSBdrive 4 pcfs readwrite /usr/sbin/mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s2:c /export/home/usbdrive_04 .. for a big disk, this can take a some time /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s2:c 156250144 32 156250112 1% /export/home/usbdrive_04and it shows you where the disk was mounted: '/export/home/usbdrive_04'
You can also determine the device number by first typing (does not work on all machines)
dmesgSolaris should have recognized the disk. Then look for a line like this:
/pci@1f,0/pci@5/usb@1,2/storage@1/disk@0,0 (sd0) onlinenow search for the proper device in /dev/dsk as
ls -l /dev/dsk | grep 'usb@1,2/storage@1'in this case, the response was

umountUSBdrive 4This time there is no guessing of port numbers. If you say "df -k" you can see what usbdrives are mounted from the number at the end.
