dmesg error "corrupt label;wrong magic number" for gatekeep device

our unix sys admin are complaining that the gatekeeper device is reporting error "corrupt label;wrong magic number" on the SUN systems. I know we cant label the device, but is there a way to suppress the error???

Thank

Hello,

   You should be able to label gatekeepers as you would another device.

Corrupted magic number is something you see when a file system has had issue.  Generally you fix that by running something like:

fsck -y -F ubs -o b= /dev/rdsk/c-t-d-

I did a search on Powerlink and come up with this document. ID:  Please note it also mentions going to Sun for some resolution.

Hello

'Corrupt Label; wrong magic number' means just that that the lable is not recognised as a correct label.

If the gatekeeper in question is the VCMDB and your management host is not Windows then the VCMDB can be labeled once it has been made RW. Make sure that you change it back to RO afterwards. All other gatekeepers should be able to be labeled.

If indeed the gatekeeper cannot be labeled then unfortunately there is no way of suppressing the error message.
