Hi Jonas, At first sight it looks like your unopenable disks were relabeled with SMI label (hence the cyl count on format's output). Not sure if it is completely safe data wise but you could try to relabel your disks with EFI label (use format -e to access label choice). F. On 10/18/09

My goal is to have a big, fast, HA filer that holds nearly everything for a bunch of development services, each running in its own Solaris zone. So when I need a new service, test box, etc., I provision a new zone and hand it to the dev requesters and they load their stuff on it and go.
