zfs discuss - Sep 2009 - ZFS LDOMs Jumpstart virtual disk issue

I have zfs on my base T5210 box installed with LDOMS (v.1.0.3).  Every time I
try to jumpstart my Guest machine, I get the following error.


ERROR: One or more disks are found, but one of the following problems exists:
        - Hardware failure
        - The disk(s) available on this system cannot be used to install Solaris
Software. They do not have a valid label. If you want to use the disk(s) for the
install, use format(1M) to label the disk and restart the installation.
Solaris installation program exited.


If I try to label the disk using format, I get the following error
format> label
Ready to label disk, continue? y

Warning: error writing EFI.
Label failed.

Any help would be appreciated.

run format -e then label and select SMI,
this will erase any data on said disks by the way.
