Big UH-OH "Bad magic number in disk label"
I tried rebooting my Sun server just a few minutes ago and I got the following at boot:
--
Sun Fire 280R (UltraSPARC-III+) , No Keyboard
Copyright 1998-2002 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.5, 1024 MB memory installed, Serial #xxxxxxxxx
Ethernet address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, Host ID: 8323nnnn.
Rebooting with command: boot
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Boot device: net File and args:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
--
Now I know that this was probably my fault because I was trying to get a look at the partition table with fdisk and I think I hosed something when trying to view slice 2. The big question is... can this be fixed without having to reinstall the OS and restore data from tape? This box is running Sun Solaris 8 02/02 with no patches. (I know, I know... my job just keeps me too busy to keep up) I have a spare system with Solaris on it and I could restore from the last backup, but I really want to avoid this if there is a way to fix the disklabel without losing data on the drive. Not to mention the last time I restored from tape, it took 18 hours.
I already have a call into Sun support, but our contract only allows calls in starting at 8:00M EST. I'm just hoping that someone here might give me some ideas of things to try before I talk to Sun. Man I feel foolish...

clprivnet(7) Sun Cluster Device and Network Interfaces clprivnet(7)
NAME
clprivnet - SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/clprivnet
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
The SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver is a STREAMS pseudo driver supporting Sun Cluster resident applications that use
standard Solaris interfaces to communicate over the Sun Cluster private network. By striping data traffic over all links, this driver opti-
mally utilizes the bandwidth of the private network while supporting highly available, software fault-tolerant communication.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The driver is supported by the character-special device /dev/clprivnet, but is reserved for Sun Cluster internal operation and the standard
Solaris network utilities. This interface must not be directly used for general application communication.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration and configuration of the driver as a network interface is done completely by the Sun Cluster infrastructure internals.
