Mirror

[haiway1]

I have two disk drive on one controller.
Want to make disk mirror with hot swap.
Here is the command i ran

#prvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0s2

#metadb -a -f -c 2 c0t0d0s7 c0t8d0s7

when I type metadb to view, I get a message "there are no existing databases"

When I load the OS I made two partion root on 0 and export/home default to slice 7. I'm a newbie and this is very frustrating to understand.

Hello there...

Try to go to

http://docs.sun.com

and look for documentation about Solstice DiskSuite 4.2 User's Guide.

I have the same problem days ago and find out on this site very useful information about this.

you cannot create the SDS database because you use partition 7 "c0t0d0s7" for "/export/home" and try create 2 database replicas in both patition/slice 7 of c0t0d0 and c0t8d0, you need a free partition with at least 1 or 2 cylinders for SDS database (aprox 3MB), if you already setup all space in "c0t0d0s7" you can take last cylinder from swap partition and put in a free partition (use format). and then re-run metabd with correct partition.

Hope it helps,
