How to use 1 TB luns?

This is the first time we've used 1 TB luns. The system is Solaris 10 Sparc, with Storage Foundation 5.0 MP3 RP1 with NetApp apm and asl. The luns are coming from a NetApp 6080 running the latest version of OnTap. I can create a dg with smaller luns, but I can't create a dg with the 1 TB luns. Or add the 1 TB luns to an existing dg. VxVM complains about the label (EFI) or VTOC whatever method I try - vxdg create, vxdiskadd, vxdiskadm, ... Also, using the enclosure named luns, I can't seem to use vxdisksetup or vxdiskunsetup with the NetApp luns.

 

Has anyone used these size luns before? If so, how?

 

Thanks,

Bryan

Hello. As I remember veritas doesn't support EFI labels in Solaris 9. But In solaris 10 ( as you have) everything must be ok.We use EFI at Solaris 10 with out of any problems.Can you dovxdisksetup with EFI label?Can you send vxdisk list<this_disk>

Hi Bryan,

 

I noticed on a separate thread that you'd found an resolution to this - would you mind posting and sharing here? You can mark it as 'solution' so that others can quickly find the answer, as well, when they encounter the same issue.

 

Thanks,
