Did you tried creating the

Did you tried creating the portal device using mknod ?

for e.g

If the vxportal device is not available, you can recreate it using mknod:

#mknod /dev/vxportal c 10 32

make sure the major/minor numbers are not used

& then try the same steps again, also you might need to consider loading the module manually using modload

Also, I somehow reckon there was a fix for this, will check & let know ..

yep, so as per release notes,

yep, so as per release notes, as you are using sol 10

As from version 5, SF is only supported on 64-bit.

Extract from Release Notes (All documentation: https://vos.symantec.com/documents) :

Veritas Storage Foundation is supported on the following Solaris operating systems:
■ Solaris 8 (SPARC Platform 32-bit and 64-bit)
■ Solaris 9 (SPARC Platform 32-bit and 64-bit)
■ Solaris 10 (SPARC or x64 Platform 64-bit)

For information about the use of this product in a VMware Environment on Solaris x64, refer to http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/289033

couple of choices: Good that

couple of choices:

Good that processor is 64 bit, Inside vmware for guest OS:

1. solaris 10 installation should be 64 bit.

2. Try solaris 9 with 64 bit (x64)

3. Not completely sure on this but you can try installing 5.1 RP1 or later.

Hi

 To determine what kind of binaries your Solaris machine can run, try the following:

eden:/home/cph: isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications

But i have checked on my machine, it shows:-

bash-3.2# isainfo -v
32-bit i386 applications
        pclmulqdq sse4.2 sse4.1 ssse3 popcnt tscp sse3 sse2 sse fxsr mmx cmov
        sep cx8 tsc fpu
