This hack probably is not compatible on metadisks but rather with plain block/char devices like /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s? Cole pointed me to this website: http://www.sysadminmag.com/solaris/column/0106.htm which seems to be the most respectable one from the lot. Other suggestions included upgrading to Veritas 4.0 which does not have a rootdg dependency. According to my vendor it would not be a problem since we're on Foundation Suite alternatively I believe it can be arranged if you have a Sun disk array attached. On the issue of a null based rootdg ( zero cylinders in a slice) nobody could confirm this. However I am still waiting for input from another vendor who claimed this initially ( although this sounds like it might have been a genuine miscommunication ) Thanks guys, Sugan Moodley Solaris Systems Administrator ABSA Bank South Africa ______________________________________________ E-mail Disclaimer and Company Information http://www.absa.co.za/ABSA/EMail_Disclaimer _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Mar 23 04:12:07 2004
