VxVM vxdisksetup ERROR V-5-2-2480 Disk is too small for
supplied parameters

VxVM vxdisksetup ERROR V-5-2-2480 Disk is too small for supplied parameters
27 Feb 2007 12:56:09 -0500

I use SunFire V890 + StorEdge 9985 with vxvm 4.1 + mp1 installed.
Also I have installed ASL package libvxUSP.so for 9985 support.

But I cannot use the disks from StorEdge 9985 with size > 1 TB.
For example, GENESIS0_2.

But I can use small disks on this array only (like GENESIS0_0).

Some outputs:

-------------------------------------------------

cat vxdisk_list_GENESIS0_2
Device:    GENESIS0_2
devicetag: GENESIS0_2
type:      auto
flags:     online error private autoconfig

The secret is in "errno:     Device path not valid"


OK, what that means is that VM can not get to layout of the disk.
By default , VM will look at slice 2 (on Solaris)

Does this disk have a slice 2 ?

Thank you for your help.
You are right - please, see  OS_NATIVE_NAME for GENESIS0_2 and GENESIS0_3
How to fix this paths?

add slice 2 (use format)

then do "vxdctl enable"
