Volume Manager 3.2 leaves 1 cylinder unallocated by default when adding 
disks to diskgroups.  There are 2 solutions, specify the offset for the 
public region, or add the patch from Sun for Veritas 3.2 (113201) and 
then use the old_layout attribute to vxdisksetup

/usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxdisksetup -i cxtxdx old_layout

Original message:
----------
I'm installing veritas 3.2 during a sol8 jumpstart onto 18gb d1000 
drives on an e10k domain.  Afterwards when I log in and add disks to the 
root disk group so I can mirror the root drive this is the partition 
table Veritas lays down...it is 1 cylinder short, partition 4 should 
start on cyln 1 not 2.  As a result I can't mirror the root disk.

Anyone have any ideas?

Again, thanks to all those who helped, I looked like a hero walking into 
the office after 10 days of vacation (finishing with 5 days on Bourbon 
Street in New Orleans for New Years) and having a solution to this 
problem by 9:30amCST.
