vxvm:vxslicer:ERROR unsupported disk layout

Cause

When trying to encapsulate a disk you get this error.

Action

You must meet the minimum requirements to encapsulate a disk:

1. You must have two free, zero length, slices on the disk (no cylinders should be assigned to these slices.)

2. You must have two free cylinders on the disk. These 2 cylinders must not be in use by any slice other than slice two.

3. The two free cylinders must be located at the beginning or end of the drive.
