hi guys,

i was doing a fresh installation of vxvm 4.0 on solaris 8 Sun enterprise 3500 and when i ran vxinstall command it gave me option of appdg and appdg02 to be encapsulated . I wanted to encapsulate rootdg. i wrongly encapsulated appdg. is there any work around for this ?

your response is appreciated.

Thanks
ishila

What do you want to do now? Unencapsulate appdg and encapsulate rootdg?

First You tell me, How did you done encapsulate appdg ??

i did not encapsulate it.. i just ran vxinstall and it automatically took appdg and encapsulated it. thats why i m confused. i was confused why it did not create rootdg.

i got the solution. I encapsulated the rootdg by vxdiskadm command. Previously when i used that command i was getting error, theni formated slice 3 and 4 on root disk and then it worked fine.

Anyway this is a test box and so its of less importance.

Thanks all
