Hi everybody,
I instaled Solstice DiskSuite 4.2.1 on a Solaris 8. When a try to start the metatool a obtain an error message :
# Initializing metatool... (myhost): /dev/md/admin: Initializing metatool: No such file or directory
Can anyone know why? Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Keyword(s):DiskSuite, SDS, error, fail, failure, fails, configure, configured, configuration
Problem Statement Top
The GUI program "metatool", provided for configuring Solstice DiskSuite
metadevices, fails to come up when invoked.
It fails with the following error message:
/dev/md/admin: Initializing metatool: No such file or directory
Resolution Top
It appears that the /dev/md/admin file did not exist.
This was due to the fact that the system had not been rebooted
after the DiskSuite packages were installed.Had the system been rebooted,
that file would have been created.
The install instructions conclude with this instruction:
"Reboot the system as directed to build the metadevices".
Note: there is no need to use "boot -r", since the installation of SDS packages
creates a '/reconfigure' file.
On the next login, the device file "/dev/md/admin" will be there, and "metatool"
should start up without problems.
