Slice 8 is a reserved area at the end of the disk.
I don't see too much wrong with what you are doing except my first questions are:
1. What hardware is this?
2. What version of Solaris
3. The disk is being recognised as a 500MB disk. Emphasis on the "MB"! Is that right????
4. What type of disk is it? SCSI, SATA, IDE or what? Showing as a NetApp LUN?
If it is right, it's been a long time since I've seen one of those.

If you haven't written the EFI label you might need to use:
expert mode to do that.

Thanks in advance

my understanding of how ldom's and disk works this is that we can only do this as a... (1 Reply)

I thought I had figured this out at one point, but I can't remember. Is there a way/command to get the UUIDs of a disk's partitions/slices in FreeBSD? Linux has the blkid command, which doesn't seem to be available. (2 Replies)
