Converting an EFI labeled disk to SMI, SUN Solaris SPARC 11/06

807557May 26 2007 — edited May 29 2007
I would like to know the proper way to convert a disk labeled EFI to SMI. I have looked at some documentation and they state not to use format -e to convert the label, but to use fdisk.

However fdsik seems to only work on Solaris for intel x86 and not SPARC. due to the lack of any devices with p0 extension in /dev/dsk/directory.

The usage for fdisk is "fdisk /dev/rdsk/"device"p0 or whatever partition is being modified to change the label.

Are there any concerns that I should be aware of ? What is the proper way to modify the label on a SPARC system? Any help or supporting documentation would be great.
