SunBlog: Changing a disk label (EFI / SMI)
The above blog link saved me a bunch of time so I thought I’d link it here with the hope that some other Sysadmin may be saved a bit of frustration.
I’d installed Solaris10 10/08 on an Sun Ultra2 and was looking to setup a mirrored root using:
zpool attach rpool c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0
The error I received was:
Device is too small
I thought this was a bit odd considering that both drives are exactly the same size. After much googling I discovered the above link and using format -e as described in the blog post, changed the drive’s label from an EFI label to an SMI, and voila..all problems solved and the aforementioned Ultra2 is now booting from a mirrored root.
Thank you Mike Brannigan
