Solved: Error on labeling the disk

You may get below error when you are trying to label a new disk in Solaris.

format> la
 WARNING - This disk may be in use by an application that has
 modified the fdisk table. Ensure that this disk is
 not currently in use before proceeding to use fdisk.

Solution:-

Before you proceed for the solution ensure that this is the correct disk which you want to label.

• Once you are sure about the correct disk, select the disk from the format menu.
• Before you try labeling the disk execute "fdisk" while in format menu.

format> fdisk
 No fdisk table exists. The default partition for the disk is:

a 100% "SOLARIS System" partition

Type "y" to accept the default partition, otherwise type "n" to edit the
 partition table.

• Once you press "y" it will accept the default disk layout.
• Now you can also change the disk layout format as per your requirement and finally label the disk.
