LabelsNext: About Disk SlicesEFI Disk Label The EFI label provides support for physical disks and virtual disk volumes that are greater than 2 TB in size. This release also includes updated disk utilities for managing disks greater than 2 TB in size. The http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/817-5093/disksconcepts-14 UFS file system is compatible with the EFI disk label, and you can create a UFS file system greater than 2 TB. For information on creating a multiterabyte UFS file system, see 64-bit: Support of Multiterabyte UFS https://www.openfirmware.info/pipermail/openbios/2011-April/006342.html File Systems. The unbundled Sun QFS file system is also available if you need to create file systems greater than 1 TB. For information on the Sun QFS file system, see Sun QFS, Sun SAM-FS, and Sun in solaris SAM-QFS File System Administrator’s Guide. The Solaris Volume Manager software can also be used to manage disks greater than 1 TB in this Solaris release. For information on using Solaris Volume Manager, see Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide. The VTOC label is still available for disks less than 2 terabytes in size. If you are only using disks smaller than 2 TB on your systems, managing disks will be the same as in previous Solaris ldom in solaris releases. In addition, you can use the format-e command to label a disk 2 TB in size or less with an EFI label. For more information, see Example11–6. You can use the format -e command to apply an EFI label to a disk if the system is running the appropriate Solaris release. However, you should review the important information in Restrictions of the EFI Disk Label before attempting to apply an EFI label. You can also use the format -e command to reapply a VTOC label if the EFI label is no longer needed. For example: # format Specify disk (enter its number): 2 selecting c0t5d0 [disk formatted] . . . format> label [0] SMI Label [1] EFI Label Specify Label type[1]: 0 Warning: This disk has an EFI label. Changing to SMI label will erase all current partitions. Continue? yes Auto configuration via format.dat[no]? Auto configuration via generic SCSI-2[no]? format> quit Caution – Keep in mind that changing disk labels will destroy any data on the disk. Comparison of the EFI Label and the VTOC Label The EFI disk label differs from the VTOC disk label in the following ways: Provides support for disks greater than 2 terabytes in size. Provides usable slices 0-6, where slice 2 is just another slice. Partitions (or slices) cannot overlap with the primary or backu
