Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 Release Notes for Solaris OS

ProcedureHow to Correct /etc/vfstab Errors For a Multipathed Boot Device

Steps
  1. Run scvxinstall and choose to encapsulate.

    The system displays the following message:


    This node will be re-booted in 20 seconds.  Type Ctrl-C to abort.
  2. Abort the reboot.


    Ctrl-C
  3. Edit the /etc/vfstab entry so /global/.devices uses the /dev/{r}dsk/cXtXdX name instead of the /dev/did/{r}dsk name.

    This revised entry enables VxVM to recognize it as the root disk.

  4. Rerun scvxinstall and choose to encapsulate.

    The /etc/vfstab file has the necessary updates. Allow the reboot to occur. The encapsulation proceeds as normal.
