hi Managers

I have a Sunfire 4800 running solaris 8 and connected to an STK D173 array, using Veritas for volume management. Due to some power problems the array failed to mount.

Veritas can no longer see the array but it is visible through the format command and the EZFibre software.

The drivers are installed (jnic146x).

What i have done so far is run
format -e
select disk. i get a prompt to labe l the disk.
When I try labelling the disk i get the following message.

[disk unformatted]
Disk not labeled. Label it now? y
Warning: error writing VTOC.

When i try format I get an error message.

Can you please assist me ? i have searched for a solution on the internet and the suggested solutions (besides replacement, )have not worked for me

I will summarise.

TIA
