Re: [Veritas-vx] Solaris 10 - Unable to encapsulate the root drives
Is this a T1000/2000 by chance? If so, you might be running into a bug in the vxroot script. It's easy to check -- on line 138 is the variable $bus_drivers quoted or not? If it's NOT quoted, then you might have this bug affecting you. The fix it is as simple as putting quotes around it like this: 138c138 if [ $? -eq 0 -a -n $bus_drivers ] ; --- if [ $? -eq 0 -a -n $bus_drivers ] ; I'm sure there's an official Veritas patch somewhere (I know this was fixed in the 5.0 release) but I find this a quicker fix.

Thanks Mike for your quick response. Yes, the systems are T2000s. I checked the /etc/vx/bin/vxroot script, and it already has the quotes around the $bus_drivers. Sample Output: vxroot:bus_drivers=`modinfo | grep PCI Bus nexus driver \ vxroot: if [ $? -eq 0 -a -n $bus_drivers ] ; vxroot: for i in $bus_drivers vxroot: if [ $drv = pci -a $flag = no -a -n $bus_drivers ] vxroot: for i in $bus_drivers What else do I need to look out for?

Re: [Veritas-vx] Solaris 10 - Unable to encapsulate the root drives
Darn, that would have the easy fix. I haven't seen a problem like this on our T2000's. When you say on the second reboot the system couldn't just come up what exactly does it do at that point? If you boot the system to CD or network and inspect the drives, how much of the encapsulation is done (eg. Are the drives partitioned? Is the /etc/vfstab changed, is /etc/system changed?)

Re: [Veritas-vx] Solaris 10 - Unable to encapsulate the root drives
Hi Asim, Ever since sun started making/supporting hardware raid in T2000's, we have stopped encapsulating our root disks on these hosts. The last time I did encapsulate a root disk, it is on what I would call a Gen 1 T2000. That is, the SATA controller is a card. This worked well, and was with 4.1. Our Gen 2 T2000's, where the SATA controller is on the motherboard, we have not encapsulated, as hardware raid should be better. I would also try 5.0, as your 4.1 licence should work on that version. Also, if you do do hardware raid, you'll have to re-install the OS on this box.
