Problem with metadb keyword in profile

I am new to use of mirroring during Jumpstart ( I just upgraded my Jumpstart server to S9-09-04), and can't get past an error that says:

Error in file "Profiles/us087.profile", line 5

metadb c0t0d0s7 size 8192 count 3

ERROR: Invalid keyword

Here is the profile in question:

install_type initial_install

system_type standalone

partitioning explicit

cluster SUNWCXall

metadb c0t0d0s7 size 8192 count 3

metadb c0t2d0s7 size 8192 count 3

filesys mirror:d0 c0t0d0s0 c0t2d0s0 5120 /

filesys mirror:d10 c0t0d0s1 c0t2d0s1 2048 swap

filesys mirror:d20 c0t0d0s3 c0t2d0s3 5120

filesys c0t0d0s4 free

filesys c0t2d0s4 free

What am I missing?

This server was upgraded from Solaris 8 using Live upgrade, are there new packages that I need to install?It should be something simple since I can't seem to find any messages regarding this.

I think your syntax is wrong when adding the database replicas. Try metadb -a -f -c 3 -l 8192 c0t0d0s7 That is a -L for length.

I would agree with your command outside of a Custom Jumpstart profile. I don't have any problems with Volume Manager when building a mirrored filesystem, but I can't get it to work within Custom Jumpstart. The error occurs when I run the 'check' utility against a rules file contains a profile that contains the 'metadb' keyword.

pmostrom I had this problem but you need to verify which version of check you are using. I initially tried to use metadb with version 1.64 but this failed with your error.

I then found a copy of 1.65 on a 4/04 CD under Misc which will accept metadb as a keyword. There are other issues with this version and you should look for a newer version than this.

That was the problem. I was running an old version of check. Thanks! Paul M.
