bootadm install-bootloader keeps asking EFI System partition on SMI disk

lameonFeb 1 2015 — edited Feb 16 2015

I was running bootadm install-bootloader to fix the boot sector on my system disk. rpool is installed on a SMI format disk, however, I always got the following error:

root@solaris:~# bootadm install-bootloader -P rpool

Could not determine the EFI System Partition (ESP) for device /dev/rdsk/c4t4d0s0

I even tried format a new disk with SMI label (80GB, Solaris2 Partition), and run install-bootloader on it still got the same error.

The running system is Solaris 11.2.

Anyone has any idea what went wrong?

Thanks
