Have you tried configuring your array manually to ensure that it is picking
all of your drives?

Subject: [SunHELP] veritas volume manager


I currently have 6x36gb disks in a D1000 array hooked up to a 220R.  I'd
like to configure these disks using Veritas volume manager in a raid5
configuration.  It seems that when I do so, the amount of available space is
much smaller than I would expect.  Since I have 6 disks, 6x36g=216gb max.
When I create a disk group, and make a raid5 volume, the maximum available
space I can use in my volume is 69gb.  Can anyone explain that to me?  Am I
doing something wrong?

Thanks.
