How to recover the disk from efi partition

Hey all
I've done the following experiment
I created efi partition on one spare disk in an rx2600 system.So I "ioscan" it and there is the following output:
/dev/dsk/cxtxd0 /dev/dsk/cxtxd0s1 /dev/dsk/cxtxd0s2 /dev/dsk/cxtxd0s3
Now I want to recovery it to the original status it means no eif partition just one /dev/dsk/cxtxd0 and /dev/rdsk/cxtxd0 and not followed by /dev/dsk/cxtxd0sx.
So can you tell me how to do it?

Hi,

see the manpage of idisk:

idisk -R -w

removes all EFI Partition headers an tables from the disk.

bye,

Peter

Wang,

Using the boot menu option of the EFI Boot
Loader Utility might give you the solution that you are looking for.

Jaime.
Work hard when the need comes out.
