To All Helpers:
Platform: solaris 2.8 and VM 3.5
machine: Ultra2 (this is very old machine and not a
production server)
Problem: the box was running sun volume manager 2.4
and solaris 2.6. The root disk was encapsulated.
boot the system from underlying partition, remove the
vm 2.4 without export the disk group (this may be the
problem). upgrade the system to 2.8 without problem.
Install 3.5 MP1 without problem. Run vxinstall after
the installation of vm 3.5 and encapsulate the root
disk again.
Everything is fine. But the VM can not see any other
old disk groups from vxdisk list, although it can see
all the disks.
I have used vxdg -f import option, but it failed.
"import failed: No valid disk found containing disk
group"
I can used vxdisk -o alldgs list to see the old disk
group but the disk has no name on it.
rpt root [5] vxdisk -o alldgs list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP
STATUS
c0t0d0s2 sliced rootdisk rootdg

c0t1d0s2 sliced - - error

c2t0d1s2 sliced - (ssa_app)

I also can use vxprinvutil dumpconfig to dump the
config from each disk.
My question is that is there anyway that I can force
the vm 3.5 to see the disks created under vm 2.4?
Thanks in advance
ssefoen.
