hi,
maybe there was a cylinder overlap between c0t2d0s0 and c0t2d0s7, please look at
disk layout using format command.
hopes this helps...

<p>Ok ... I think this maybe true for Vinay.
<p>But my problem is, that I'm not able to create a metadevice.
<br>The replicas are on a separate partition of the boot-disk.
<p>I think, it will be better to deinstall SDS, reboot the machine, run
the

<br>>>> Hi Vinay, Michael.
<br>>>>
<br>>>> This is a known problem, it happens if you have two disks with
the same
<br>>>> device ID.
<br>>>>
<br>>>> Disksuite uses the disks device ID's, and if both disks have the
same
<br>>>> ID disksuite will belive that its the same disk, which causes the
error
<br>>>> messages below.
<br>>>>
<br>>>> There is a small utility which changes the deviceid of a disk,
i'll
<br>>>> dig it up and send it you when i find it.
