Have you confirmed that disk is labelled?

Try once again to label and then initialize the disk.

PS:
	Are you aware of the fact that SF 5.0 has reached EOSL?

Hi

Is this disk a new disk ?

Is the disk visible to the o/s ? does it have a VTOC/label ?

Can you show the output of

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;vxdisk list &lt;disk&gt;

As Marianne mentioned 5.0 has reached EOSL

cheers

Hi,&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;

1. make sure device tree is clean, and disk &nbsp;is ok:

#devfsadm –Cv&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

use dd read to test if disk is ok:

&nbsp;

&nbsp;# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s2 of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=100

&nbsp;

2. get &nbsp;prtvtoc for the disk:

# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s2 &nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

3.make sure the disk is proper labled.

# cfgadm –alo show_FCP_dev

# echo label &gt; /tmp/fmt ; format –d c#t#d# -s –f /tmp/fmt &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;&lt; Label the LUN ( c#t#d# ) prior to updating VxVM

&nbsp;

4.refer&nbsp;http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH57018

freeze vcs sg,&nbsp;

# mv disk.info disk.backup

# mv array.info array.backup

# rm /dev/vx/dmp/*

# rm /dev/vx/rdmp/*

&nbsp;#rm /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s# &lt;------Remove all entries except for internal boot devices.
	#rm /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s# &lt;-------Remove all entries except for internal boot devices.
	#devfsadm -Cv&nbsp;
	#vxconfigd -k
