Howdy G-lee - thanks for the prompt response!
This is an x64 disk, with an EFI label. (it will give slice 8 some sectors be default, and slice 2 will be reduced accordingly, and not start on cylinder 0). I have changed the label to an SMI label via format -e, and used fdisk to carve out an 800gb partition. I thought this would do the trick, but now im running into the following when I attempt to online the disk:
root@bells#vxdisk online ams_23000_1
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-531 Device ams_23000_1: online failed:
Device path not valid
Here is the vtoc - i am grasping at straws... any suggestions would be huge!
