Big thanks to Darren Dunham [ddunham@taos.com] and Aseltine, Dick [dick.aseltine@giantloop.com] to be able to encapsulate the disk under the VxVM it should have at least 2 unallocated partitions and some unallocated cylinders: at least 3Mb per partition: I deleted the partition 4 and all works. Thanks again. I'll post results of my testing. rgds -Alex -----Original Message----- From: Kruchkoff, A (Alex) [mailto:Alex.Kruchkoff@SYD.RABOBANK.COM] Sent: Tuesday, 30 October 2001 11:27 To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: vxinstall: vxslicer: ERROR: unsupported disk layout (was Sybase p erformance) Hi, Last week I posted a question and the SUMMARY about Sybase performance. The last test I want to perform is to install the VxVM; allocate vx raw devices and run the same test program to measure the time. I installed VxVM, got an evaluation license and started to run vxinstall. I tried to encapsulate the disk, but got the error message: Enter disk name for c4t0d0 [<name>,q,?] (default: disk01) It is not possible to encapsulate c4t0d0, for the following reason: <vxvm:vxslicer: ERROR: Unsupported disk layout.> The encapsulation of c4t0d0 failed. You can continue with any other disks on the system, or you can cancel the installation now. I'd prefer to use encapsulation: I have a copy of filesystems, but to restore the fs is a pretty time consuming. The backup through the network (the box is at remote site) took more than 24 hours. Below is the partition table of c4t0d0: Current partition table (original): Total disk cylinders available: 34730 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 unassigned wm 0 - 10239 20.00GB (10240/0/0) 41943040 1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 backup wu 0 - 34729 67.83GB (34730/0/0) 142254080 3 unassigned wm 10240 - 15359 10.00GB (5120/0/0) 20971520 4 unassigned wm 15360 - 34729 37.83GB (19370/0/0) 79339520 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 I have 2 mounted file systems from that disk: /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s3 10324988 5757795 4463944 57% /opt/raw2 /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s0 20649993 16784759 3658735 83% /apps the slice 4 had metadevices from the previous test, but I removed them and make a new file system. the disk itself is virtual, it's a raid 1+0, made from disks connected to Sun StorEdge SRC/P on e450: dptutil -L logical Password: Address Type Manufacturer/Model Capacity Status --------------------------------------------------------------------------- c4t0d0 RAID 10 (Mirrored&DPT RAID-10 69465MB Optimal $ sudo dptutil -L physical Address Type Manufacturer/Model Capacity Status --------------------------------------------------------------------------- c4t0d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal c4t1d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal c4t2d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal d1b2t0d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal d1b2t1d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal $ sudo dptutil -L controller # b0 b1 b2 Controller Cache FW NVRAM Serial Status --------------------------------------------------------------------------- d1 -- c4 -- DPT PM3755U2B 64MB SMEA SUN V1.5 12-023965 Optimal Address Type Manufacturer/Model Capacity Status --------------------------------------------------------------------------- c4t0d0 RAID 0 (Striped) DPT RAID-10 69465MB Optimal c4t0d0 RAID 1 (Mirrored) DPT RAID-1 34732MB Optimal c4t0d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal d1b2t0d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal c4t1d0 RAID 1 (Mirrored) DPT RAID-1 34732MB Optimal c4t1d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal d1b2t1d0 Disk Drive (DASD) SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 34732MB Optimal Does anyone know how to encapsulate this disk into VxVM? Should I unmount the filesystems? or do I need to create a partition 7 (1, 5, 6)? or may be relocate the partition 0, so it will not start from the cylinder 0? thanks in advance I will summarise best regards -Alex ================================================================== De informatie opgenomen in dit bericht kan vertrouwelijk zijn en is uitsluitend bestemd voor de geadresseerde.
