Notes on support for disks with an EFI (GPT) label

The default disk label that is effective when Oracle Solaris is installed has changed
from VTOC (SMI) to EFI (GPT). If you need a disk with a VTOC (SMI) label, execute
the format -e command of Oracle Solaris to apply the VTOC (SMI) label and then
install Oracle Solaris. For details on the format(1M) command, see the Oracle Solaris
Reference Manual.
In addition, be sure to select [Use a slice on the disk] for the [Solaris slice] screen on
the Oracle Solaris installation menu to ensure that the disk is VTOC (SMI) labeled.
