About Disk Labels

A special area of every disk is set aside for storing information about the disk
's controller, geometry, and slices. This information is called the disk's label
. Another term that is used to described the disk label is the VTOC (Volume Tabl
e of Contents) on a disk with a VTOC label. To label a disk means to write slice
information onto the disk. You usually label a disk after you change its slices
.
The Oracle Solaris release supports the following two disk labels:
SMI

The traditional VTOC label for disks that are less than 2 TB in size.

EFI Provides support for disks that are larger than 2 TB. The Extensible Fir
mware Interface GUID Partition Table (EFI GPT) disk label is also available for
disks less than 2 TB.
If you fail to label a disk after you create slices, the slices will be unavaila
ble because the OS has no way of knowing about the slices.
