Hi all,
I'm having a lot of problem encapsulating the boot disk on a Solaris environment with VxVM 4.1 installed. My partition table is like that:
slice 0 -> /
slice 1 -> swap
slice 6 -> /var
slice 7 -> /app
After vxinstall completed and vxconfigd deamons started succesfully (after vxinstall I've rebooted to system too) I try to encapsulate the boot disk, c7t10d0, using vxdiskadm, but I immediately see something of strange. VxVM is telling me to assign the format type of the disk (cds or sliced? ... that's really strange):
Select disk devices to encapsulate:
[<pattern-list>,all,list,q,?] c7t10d0
Here is the disk selected. Output format: [Device_Name]
c7t10d0
Continue operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
You can choose to add this disk to an existing disk group or to
a new disk group. To create a new disk group, select a disk group name that does not yet exist.
Which disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: rootdg)
There is no active disk group named rootdg.
Create a new group named rootdg? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
Use a default disk name for the disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
A new disk group will be created named rootdg and the selected disks will be encapsulated and added to this disk group with default disk names.
c7t10d0
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
The following disk has been selected for encapsulation.
Output format: [Device_Name]
c7t10d0
Continue with encapsulation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
A new disk group rootdg will be created and the disk device c7t10d0 will be encapsulated and added to the disk group with the disk name rootdg01.
Enter the desired format [cdsdisk,sliced,q,?] (default: cdsdisk) sliced
The operation seems to finish correctly, infact a reboot is now requested from VxVM, but when the system tries to come up it stops saying me:
Rebooting with command: boot

/etc/rcS.d/S86vxvm-reconfig: /etc/vx/reconfig.d/disks-cap: cannot create
At this point the only way to have my system up is a break of the system, boot net -sw, restore system partition table from /etc/vx/reconfig.d/disk.d/c7t10d0/vtoc file and reboot in multi user mode.
Another attempt of encapsulation has the same result!
Have you got any suggestions / idea about it? My /var/adm/meesages hasn't nothing that can help me to understand what is wrong!
I've already verified what explained in the document id seer.support.veritas.com/docs/234895.htm but my vfstab is correct!

ciao ciao
