ERROR: (_app_set_slice) Disk is not selected

Question

I get the following error when jump-starting a domain on an E6900:
ERROR: (_app_set_slice) Disk is not selected
Disk layout for selected disks
    Disk c3t0d0
                             Solaris Slice Table
          Slice     Start  Cylinder         MB  Preserve  Directory

Verifying disk configuration
        - ERROR: Slice is less than one cylinder (c3t0d0s5)
Verifying space allocation
        - Total software size:  2129.45 Mbytes
ERROR: System installation failed
Solaris installation program exited.I can't see why, as the slice is definately more than one cylinder, the error message is misleading, Excerpts from the profile:

<snip>
filesys c3t0d0s7 32 unnamed
filesys c3t1d0s7 32 unnamedJust as a test, I decided to remove all partitions apart from 2, and label. The jumpstart fails to modify the vtoc. Help please!

Answer 1

Found the cause:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1t0d0 <SUN146G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 848>
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@0,0
1. c1t1d0 <SUN146G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 848>
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@1,0
2. c1t2d0 <SUN146G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 848>
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@2,0
3. c1t3d0 <SUN146G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 848>
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@3,0
Specify disk (enter its number): ^D
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0
prtvtoc: /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0: Unable to read Disk geometry errno = 0x5
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s0
prtvtoc: /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s0: Unable to read Disk geometry errno = 0x5
So if I run format and label the disks:
2. c1t2d0 <SUN146G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 848>
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@2,0
3. c1t3d0 <SUN146G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 848>
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@3,0
Specify disk (enter its number): 2
selecting c1t2d0
[disk formatted]
Disk not labeled. Label it now? yes
2. c1t2d0 <SUN146G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 848>
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@2,0
3. c1t3d0 <SUN146G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 848>
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@3,0
Specify disk (enter its number)[2]: 3
selecting c1t3d0
[disk formatted]
Disk not labeled. Label it now? yes
It then starts to work:
- Selecting all disks
- Configuring boot device
- Using disk (c1t0d0) for "rootdisk"
- Configuring / (c1t0d0s0)
- Configuring swap (c1t0d0s1)
- Configuring /var (c1t0d0s4)
- Configuring (c1t2d0s0)
- Configuring (c1t2d0s1)
- Configuring (c1t3d0s0)
- Configuring (c1t3d0s1)
- Configuring (c1t0d0s7)
- Configuring /data (c1t0d0s5)
- Configuring (c1t2d0s2)
- Configuring (c1t3d0s2)
Will see if there is a way of automatically getting JET to do this in the future.
