Volume Manager Slices

Additionally, if you will be using Solstice DiskSuite, you must set aside a 10 Mbyte slice on the system disk for metadevice state database replicas. See the Solstice DiskSuite documentation for more information about replicas.

If you will be using SSVM or CVM, you must set aside two partitions and a small amount of free space (1024 sectors) on each multihosted disk that is to be managed by SSVM or CVM, for the disk group rootdg. The free space should be located at the beginning or end of each disk and should not be allocated to any slice. Refer to "2.2.5.2 Sun StorEdge Volume Manager and Cluster Volume Manager Considerations", for more information.
