Solaris 8 - Autoconfigure failed

2007-12-24 23:47:00

Hi,
I have a 1.5TB external fibre channel storage (Mylex FFX). I'm attaching the
storage to Solaris 8 on Ultra 5 using Qlogic 2310 but I'm unable to format
it right. When I tried to format it initially, it said wrong magic number,
corrupt disk label. Format asked me disk type and couldn't autoconfigure. It
generated following error message:

Mode sense page(3) reports nsect value as 128, adjusting it to -46 Auto
configure failed

Somehow I can't get the drive geometry automatically.

If I choose 'other' as disk type and give random CHS values it takes it and
makes a disk type.

Is there any patch that I'm missing?

Thanks.
