[Veritas-vx] vxvm: Unable to read Disk Geometry

2008-01-19 Thread Rumbidzayi Gadhula
am unable to initialize my disk array under VVM 4.0 (StorageTek D173). When I select initialize disk veritas says it is unable to read the disk geometry. Trying to label the disk fails with Disk unformatted. Trying to format results in a Read error (failing to read VTOC) with an error code

I don't think this is a Veritas error per-se. Once you can get format to talk to the drives, you should be a long way to solving your problem. Look at the array's error log because ASC 0x3a == medium not present. If you had system power fails, you probably had array ones as well and
