Installing a System With an EFI-Labeled Disk
The Solaris installation utilities automatically recognize disks with EFI labels, but cannot use the Solaris installation utilities to repartition these disks. You must use the format utility to repartition this disk before or after installation. The Solaris Upgrade and Live Upgrade utilities also recognize a disk with an EFI label. However, you cannot boot a system from an EFI-labeled disk.
After the Solaris release is installed on a system with an EFI-labeled disk, the partition table looks similar to the following:
Current partition table (original): Total disk sectors available: 2576924638 + 16384 (reserved sectors) Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector 0 root wm 34 1.20TB 2576924636 1 unassigned wm 0 0 0 2 unassigned wm 0 0 0 3 unassigned wm 0 0 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 0 8 reserved wm 2576924638 8.00MB 2576941021 |
