zfs discuss - Oct 2006 - Question regarding ZFS

Hi gurus,

I was playing with zfs in a V890 before it was installed for 
production.  We reinstalled it for production, but the 4 disks We used 
to play with zfs have a non standard format (slices comes from s0 to s8 
not s2 for backup s7 does not exists)

We need to recover those 4 disks to be used by Solaris Volume Manager.

I know this would be an easy question, but I was trying to fix it 
differents ways with no sucess, also searching in sunsolve and nothing.

Thanks in advance for your valuable Help

Please respond to directly to me, I''m not in the alias


Regards
Hugo Mendez

Hi Hugo,

ZFS uses the EFI label.

If you need to relabel the disks with the older SMI (VTOC) label,
do this:

# format -e
<select the disk to label...>
format> label
[0] SMI Label
[1] EFI Label
Specify Label type[0]:  0
