Dist Suit Objects in Critical Status

Dare all,

I have a Sun machine to which I connected 4 D1000 Disk arrays, I created a Mirror and a Concatenated-Strip volume.

All went OK, I used the command line to do this, when I check the status with # metastatI can see that every thing is fine; all disks are online and have the Okay stat.

However, I thought it would be time for me to start working with the Solstice Disk Suite GUI 搈etatool? when I opened it I was surprised to see that all my objects where is 揅ritical?status!!!

Even the disks where in critical status, simply all of them!

When I examine an object, for example my mirror and then select the disk view, all disks have this read 揜epair?sign on them.

My question is, what is now the correct status, the one showed by the metastat or metatool?

And :

How can I repair a disk in a volume? That is; what should I do to correct the status from critical to OK?

PS: I'm using Solaris 8 with Solstice v4.2.1

Thanks for the Help in advance 厖

Correct status say metastat.

( All State: shuld be Okay).

Some reasons , why metatool say incorrect status:

metatool use network interface for managment

1) You don't reboot after installation DiskSuite

( Restart inetd)

2) You block service metatool in /etc/inetd.conf

Hi ....

Tanks for the reply, I solved the problem some days ago, yes you are right it was one of the inetd configurations; to be exact I had to add the following lines to the /etc/inetd.conf file:

# rpc.metad

100229/1tlirpc/tcp waitroot/usr/sbin/rpc.metadrpc.metad

#rpc.metamhd

100230/1tlirpc/tcp waitroot/usr/sbin/rpc.metamhdrpc.metamhd

as I understood; basically rpc.metamhd needs to be running in order for metatool to correctly report on disk status.

This was not the case and had to be manually added to the inetd.conf in order to be started when the inetd starts.

Thanks again for the help.

With best regards
