I set up an LDOM on a SPARC machine and attempted to do an
auto-install of the LDOM. The installation fails as follows:
<AI May 11 15:39:07> /tmp/ai_combined_manifest.xml is a valid manifest
<AI May 11 15:39:07> Auto reboot disabled
<TDDM_E May 11 15:39:07> ddm_drive_is_cdrom(): ioctl(DKIOCREMOVABLE) failed
<OM May 11 15:39:07> Ignoring c6d0 because of bad Geometry
<AI May 11 15:39:17> No Disks found on the target system
<AI May 11 15:39:17> Target validation failed
<AI May 11 15:39:17> ai target device not found
<AI May 11 15:39:17> Auto install failed
As you can see, the install says it failed because of "bad
Geometry" on the one disk that's part of the LDOM. Here's
what prtvtoc on the LDOM has to say about that disk:
* /dev/rdsk/c6d0s0 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 143374738 sectors
* 143374671 accessible sectors
*
* Flags:
* 1: unmountable
* 10: read-only
*
* Unallocated space:
* First Sector Last
* Sector Count Sector
* 34 222 255
*
* First Sector Last
* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
0 4 00 256 143358065 143358320
8 11 00 143358321 16384 143374704
In short, it basically looks like a fairly generic EFI labeled disk.
So, what exactly does "bad Geometry" mean in this case, and what might
I be able to do about it?
