I fixed the issue 'Wrong Magic Label '     Steps for the resolving 'Wrong Magic label' Solaris host. 1) Check the affected gatekeeper device. 2) Check the device details from the server where the SE got installed.        symdev -sid 1234 list      Check the device is WD is yes follow the below steps.        symcfg -sid 1234 rw_enable -SA all   ----- this will write enable the device in all the directors. 3) If the Gatekeeper device is WE and try to label the drive by format command. 4) Perform this operation from the server where you have installed the solution enabler. ********* This worked Perfectly fine - This fix helped my monitoring system to be stable ******************************
