Root disk encapsulation problem in VXVM on solaris 10
Select disk devices to encapsulate:
[<pattern-list>,all,list,q,?] list
DEVICE DISK GROUP STATUS
c0t0d0 - - online invalid
c2t0d0 ...
- From VxVM Admin Guide (Solaris 5.0MP3)
--------------------
To prevent the encapsulation from failing, make sure that the following conditions apply:
• The disk has two free partitions for the public and private regions.
• The disk has an s2 slice.
• The disk has a small amount of free space (at least 1 megabyte at the beginning
or end of the disk) that does not belong to any partition. If the disk being encapsulated is the root disk, and this does not have sufficient free space available, a similar sized portion of the swap partition is used instead.
--------------------
The last point appears to be the problem here - from the output there are no spare sectors - 0 is being used by s8, 1-2 by s9, remaining (3-1562) by s0.
Either get rid of s9 or free up at least a sector from the end of s0 (if shrinking s0 would obviously also need to shrink the filesystem first)
