hi,

check if you have created the special device :

hope you made this structure on the disk :

EFI 500MB
HPUX 100%
HPSP 400MB

if not try to run insf -eC disk

ioscan -fnC disk

ll /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2

Hi Fizan,

What is your OS version?

Is it a local disk or a LUN presented from a storage ?

Hi Fizan,
Please confirm that the divise file associated with this disk is not there in /etc/lvmtab

which version of OS is this ?

Try
#pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2

[Torsten.]

Please do the same for partition 2:

# diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2
