How to add efi partition on system disk to vxvm?

Hello,

my system disk on an Integrity system with
11i v2 ud2 with VxVM as root volume manager
is partitioned like this:

# cat parfile
4
EFI 500MB
HPUX 32000MB
HPUX 100%
HPSP 400MB

I have the system disk on part. 2, now I'd
like to add part. 3 to VxVM as well, un-
fortunately, I cannot seem to add that device
to VxVM:

# vxdisksetup -if c2t1d0s3
vxdisksetup: Sliced name not allowed for non-root disk.

# vxdisk -f init c2t1d0s3
vxvm:vxdisk: ERROR: Device c2t1d0s3: define failed:
Duplicate device

Although I can see /dev/[r]dsk/c2t1d0s3 with
ioscan and even pvcreate on above device
works (just to test wether that device is
accessible).

How can I get this device unter VxVM control?

Thank's & best regards,

Arnold
