Description 
In a LDoms guest domain, we can not add a virtual disk to an OBAN disk set
if the disk has a VTOC label; this fails with the following error:

# metaset -s oban_3

Multi-owner Set name = oban_3, Set number = 2, Master = 

Host                Owner          Member
  vzkiya2a                         Yes 
  vzkiya1a                         Yes 

# scdidadm -L d5
5        vzkiya2a:/dev/rdsk/c0d4        /dev/did/rdsk/d5     
5        vzkiya1a:/dev/rdsk/c0d4        /dev/did/rdsk/d5     

# metaset -s oban_3 -a /dev/did/rdsk/d5
metaset: vzkiya2a: oban_3: drive d5 is not common with host vzkiya1a

There is no such problem when adding the disk to a regular (non OBAN)
disk set; or if we put an EFI label on the disk instead of a VTOC label.
[ removed incorrect description ]
Work Around 
To add a LDoms virtual disk to an OBAN diskset, the virtual disk needs to have an
EFI label and not a VTOC label. The disk label can be changed from VTOC to EFI
with the 'label' option of the 'format -e' command.
