I am trying to do root volume mirroring on SunFire V210 server. I have two disks in it.First one is c1t0do and second one is c1t1do. Both disks already have partitions in them so I am deleting the partitions of second disk(c1t1do) using format command and selecting cylinder start 0 and size 0mb. When I do the same on partition 6 I could not able to label the partition 6 and its shows an error. Please help me . Thanks in advance.
