Better check that >/dev/rdsk/rootdbs actually exists and is a valid partition on your disk (or is a >link pointing to a valid partition). > This link does indeed exist and it does point to a valid raw partition. I have even tried to initialise a cooked file rootdbs instance, but it gives the same error. Would this point to something to do with the kernel? I have tuned the parameters according to release file and have also tried various other combinations, going near to the maximum values allowed under MP-RAS, but no cigar. Any feedback is highly appreciated !! Cheers, Sandeep
