Thanks to everyone for the advice. What it looks like I have to do is: Shrink the current file system (To make room for VxVM to put it's TOC) Encapsulate the disk Blammo, it's done. That's really simplifying it, but it's great that I got the answers I needed. Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: Ungaro, Matt Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 10:40 AM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: Solaris 8 disk slice 0 need to import into VxVM. OK, this is a little confusing. Due to a lack of understanding of VxVM, I created a VxFS filesystem on slice 0 of the logical disk on my Storedge 3510. I would like to now import this slice into a disk group in VxVM so that I may grow the filesystem if necessary and span it across multiple LUNS (I may soon need to add a drive to my Logical Drive on the Storedge). Currently, my mount output looks like this: / on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/logging/onerror=panic/dev=800000 on Sun Dec 21 09:26:42 2003 /proc on /proc read/write/setuid/dev=4180000 on Sun Dec 21 09:26:41 2003 /dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid/dev=4240000 on Sun Dec 21 09:26:42 2003 /etc/mnttab on mnttab read/write/setuid/dev=4340000 on Sun Dec 21 09:26:43 2003 /var/run on swap read/write/setuid/dev=1 on Sun Dec 21 09:26:43 2003 /tmp on swap read/write/setuid/dev=2 on Sun Dec 21 09:26:48 2003 /export/home on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/logging/onerror=panic/dev=800006 on Sun Dec 21 09:26:48 2003 /mnt/storage on /dev/dsk/c2t40d0s0 read/write/setuid/mincache=direct/convosync=direct/delaylog/largefiles/ioerro r=mwdisable/dev=800168 on Sun Dec 21 09:26:51 2003 I'd like to bring c2t40d0s0 into a disk group so that I can work with it. c2t40d0 looks like this: Total disk cylinders available: 35424 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 unassigned wm 0 - 35423 272.44GB (35424/0/0) 571353696 1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 backup wu 0 - 35423 272.44GB (35424/0/0) 571353696 3 - wu 1 - 2 15.75MB (2/0/0) 32258 4 - wu 3 - 35423 272.42GB (35421/0/0) 571305309 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 So as it stands, I cannot span multiple LUNs with the filesystem on c2t40d0s0, and I am not extremely knowledgeable with VxVM (Had to put this up quick for a large Oracle conversion project). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
