Cant encapsulate disk
Hello All -
I have a Hitachi AMS 2300 array with 2tb presented to my solaris x64 host. SF/HA 5.1, SP 1. I am trying to encapsulate the device via vxdiskadm, and keep getting the following error. I have searched, but cant find anything on this error. Hope the experience in this forum can help me out.
The encapsulation operation failed with the following error:
Arithmetic Exception - core dumped
VxVM vxencap ERROR V-5-2-213
It is not possible to encapsulate ams_23000_1, for the following reason:
<VxVM vxslicer ERROR V-5-1-5425 Cylinder size 0: Out of range>
Here is the vtoc of the device:
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
* /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 partition map

* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 4294967295 sectors

Has anyone seen this before? Any help would be huge.
Through some trial and error, the final solution was to throw on an SMI disk label, and verify all cylinders were on slice 2. Also, vxdiskadm didnt do the trick - I had to manually run vxdisksetup and then use vxdg to create the disk group. Hope this helps someone out there!
