Hello All;

Do you know any issue using VVR with sun trunking software?

Do you suggest?

Best regards;

Hello all!

I know it was possible to add a disk slice (partition) into veritas diskgroup.



It could be done with vxdisk init command šlikeššššš vxdisk -f init cot1d0s0 type=simple



Is it still possible in 5.1SP1 ?



It seems to me not...



vxdisk -f init c1t5d0s0 type=simple

Gives error: šDevice has a UFS FS on it

When trying with



vxdisk -r init c1t5d0s0 type=simple

Gives šerror :š Device is in use as a FS_wholedisk

Hello Pavel,



AFAIK that was only possible on VxVM up to 3.x , it's a shame it doesn't
work anymore that way. I've used it on 3.x, but fails on 4.x and 5.x

I'm curious as to the purpose of putting a slice in a disk group. Why do it?
I know it was a work-around for rootdg requirements. But that's long gone.

*production* purpose? Don't know.

But I used it all the time for testing multi-cylinder setups on systems
that didn't really have a lot of physical disks.

You could create lots of "disks" and show raid setups and failures, even
if you only have one or two disks on the test box.

Thanks for the example.
