I'm running a Sun V880 with Solaris 9 8/03 and TSM 5.1.5.4 server.
I used Solaris Volume Manager to stripe together two 1.2TB T3B disk
arrays, for a total usable area of about 2.3TB.  However, when I run
the command

TSMSERV1> define volume BKP.DSK /dev/md/rdsk/d70 formatsize=2421136

I get the following error:

ANR7807W Unable to get information for file /dev/md/rdsk/d70.
ANR9999D blkdisk.c(1032): ThreadId<21> ioctl, errno=25, (Inappropriate ioctl 
for device).
ANR2404E DEFINE VOLUME: Volume /dev/md/rdsk/d70 is not available.

Question: does TSM support raw Solaris Volume Manager partitions?
Or is this more a problem with EFI disk labels?  Is there a way
around this issue if you want to use LUNs larger than 1TB?

Thanks,
Lance
