Hi,

 

I have allocated a 200GB LUN from my FC SAN storage to my Solaris server. The 200GB LUN is listed as "/dev/dsk/c0t600508B4000F31BF00007000008A0000d0s0" as shown below.

I wanted to create a ZFS file system named u01 on this 200GB LUN. But when i try to create i encounter the below error.


bash-3.00# ls /dev/dsk/*s0

/dev/dsk/c0t600508B4000F31BF00007000008A0000d0s0  /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s0

 

bash-3.00# ls /dev/rdsk/*s0

/dev/rdsk/c0t600508B4000F31BF00007000008A0000d0s0  /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s0

Howdy, Stranger!
