Veritas encapsulation problem on V245

807557Feb 16 2007 — edited Jul 24 2007
We just got a new Sun V245 in and the encapsulation process for Veritas 4.1 seems to be broken -- for some reason it's not putting the following lines into /etc/system:
	rootdev:/pseudo/vxio@0:0
	set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1
This causes a failure on reboot like this:
ERROR: svc:/system/filesystem/usr:default failed to mount / (see 'svcs -x' for details)
If we try to mount root by hand from single user mode we get this:
	# mount -m -F ufs -o remount,nologging /
	mount: /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/rootvol is not this fstype
	# fstyp /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/rootvol
	ufs 
Which is a little strange...

If we boot the system to the network, mount the boot drives and add the missing lines to /etc/system, the system boots up without issues, fully encapsulated.

We don't see this problem on older systems. I have a hunch that this is related to the SAS drives in this system and some Veritas script erroring before it can put these lines in place, but I have nothing to back that up.

Anyone else seeing this?
