Hi,

I have the below strange occurrence, where a VxVM volume is known to a
Solaris 10 system, but when I try to create a VxFS on it, it gives a 'No
such device or address' error:

SRV-00-049 / [571] #mkfs -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/vxvm_dg1/vxvm_lv1
UX:vxfs mkfs: ERROR: V-3-20003: Cannot open

SunOS SRV-00-049 5.10 Generic_127111-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
SRV-00-049 / [575] #

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Ron.
