Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

Action

As a workaround, do the following:

  1. Go into format(1M) and get the backup label using the backup command.

  2. Relabel the disk using this backup label. You should then be able to access the disk.

  3. Backup the data on this disk.

  4. Go back to the disk and relabel it, starting the raw partition at cylinder 1. (This loses one cylinder, but prevents corrupting the VTOC.)

  5. Label again.

  6. Restore the data from your backup.
