Hello,

I am using solaris 10 x86. my root and backup slices is having same memory 10 GB and same cylinders numbers [start and end cylinder numbers]. My root and backup cylinders ends at same cylinder number 1031. so for creating a new slice i am giving starting cylinder from 1302 and this is giving me error as "out of range" . please suggest me....

Note : My total hard disk size is 10 GB i installed in VMWARE

Your disk is full, you can't create more slices.

The backup slice 2 is designed to cover the entire disk and is not to be used for filesystems, etc. All other slices must not overlap each other or data loss is waiting to happen.

If you are running under VMware, just create another virtual disk and create a new slice there.

Hergp,

Can you please let me know how to i create 10 GB to root out of 20 gb total hard disk. while installing.
