Cannot mirror rootdg
OS - Solaris10
Veritas SF - 6.0
I cannot remirror my rootdg after disassociating the plexes when applying the latest OS patch bundle to the server. I was able to run vxdisk and vxdg and get the disk added to the dg but when I tried to mirror using vxdiskadm it fails with the following.
VxVM vxmirror INFO V-5-2-22 Mirror volume rootvol ...
VxVM ERROR V-5-2-673 Mirroring of disk rootdisk failed.
Error:

The 2 disks may be formatted differently - can you provide vxdisk list detailed output for the first disk (i.e vxdisk list c0t0d0s2)

c0t0d0s2 has format "sliced" and c0t1d0s2 has cds format, so I would make c0t1d0s2 sliced with the same offsets using vxdisksetup to reinitialise disk (you will need to remove from rootdg first).

Actually found out that Symantec has a bulletin out on this issue. Our team is downloading the patcha nd will install it soon.. I will post on here how things work out. The cdsdisk formatting is the issue. This bug is for 5.1 and 6.0 when used with Generic_147440-20 and later. Thanks to everyone for your help.
