Hi,
- Veritas Storage Foundation Basic 5.0
- Solaris 10 x64
I have problem adding a disk (c2d0):
# format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1d0 <DEFAULT cyl 9726 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,2/ide@0/cmdk@0,0
1. c2d0 <DEFAULT cyl 9726 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,2/ide@1/cmdk@0,0
Specify disk (enter its number): 1
selecting c2d0
...cut...
...partition type
Partition Status Type Start End Length %

...cut
Select disk devices to add: [<pattern-list>,all,list,q,?] c2
Here is the disk selected. Output format: [Device_Name]
c2t0d0
Continue operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) y
Which disk group [<group>,none,list,q,?] (default: none) TESTDG
Create a new group named TESTDG? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) y
Create the disk group as a CDS disk group? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) n
Use a default disk name for the disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) n
Add disk as a spare disk for TESTDG? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) n
Exclude disk from hot-relocation use? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) n
Add site tag to disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) n
A new disk group will be created named TESTDG and the selected disks
will be added to the disk group with disk names that you will specify
interactively.
c2t0d0
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) y
This disk device does not appear to be valid. The disk may not be
formatted (format(1M)), may have a corrupted VTOC, the device file
for the disk may be missing or invalid, or the device may be turned-off
or detached from the system. This disk will be ignored.
Output format: [Device_Name,Disk_Access_Name]
[c2t0d0,c2t0d0s2]
???...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I’m able to successfully newfs and mount it as a UFS file system.

You formatted the disk with an EFI label (more than the usual 8
partitions). Now, reading het doco, you will find that you do not need
an EFI label (only for disks bigger than 1 TB) and you will also see
that they are not supported in Veritas Volume Manager.
Format without EFI label and try again
