Hello Gurus
Please give me a solution.This is very painful ,do not understand why I get
these errors
Thanks in advance and will summarize
I am installing solaris 8 [SPARC] os on SUN 220 R server.
During installation no issues. Partition table of disk 0 is 0 root ,1 swap,2
total disk,3 usr,4 var,5 opt Partition 6 and 7 are purposefully kept empty
as I have to install Veritas VM on this box.
After installation everything went fine.
I installed latest patch cluster [17]on this server .After adding patches
server was rebooted .
Came back up fine.
Then I install Veritas Volume Manager 3.2 on this box.
encapsulated root disk.
rebooted box came up fine.
Then I mirrored root disk. rebooted server.
I am getting following errors and server is not coming up , I am getting
following error on console
File and args:
SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_108528-13 64-bit

Errors were encountered in starting the root disk group, as a result VxVM
is unable to configure
the root and/or /usr volumes. If you have mirrored the root disk, you can
try booting from that disk.
> Please refer to Appendix C of the Installation Guide for more details.
> If you cannot boot from the root disk, you can try to repair the problem
using a network-mounted

system mounted I can not do anything.

patch after Veritas install and encapsulate disk.

One more thing I forgot write is , I am installing VXFS [Veritas File
system] on this box.
