cannot add disks to Metasets in Cluster

DearI have a sun cluster 3.1 u4 with solaris 10 6/6. I have some metadevices configured in metasets working fine. Howerver now when I create a new metaset and try to add disks to it I get error "no such file or directory".:)tHANKSMohammed Tanvir

I had the same problem and reboot before adding the disk helped me.

Don't know about any patch that fixes this problem.

You can use the following:

Create the metaset:

metaset -s <metaset name> -a -h <node host name>

Create the mediator:

metaset -s <metaset name> -a -m <nodename>

Add the disk (LUN) that you will use for the metaset:

metaset -s <metaset name> 朼 <did device, without slice, it should something as /dev/did/dsk/d4>

Create the metadevice in the metaset:

/usr/sbin/metainit -s <metaset name> <meta device name, it could be d100> 1 1 <the did device, it should use the slice, for e, /dev/did/dsk/d4s0>

FYI:

For all these types of issues, could you please post the exact syntax of the command you are trying to run, together with any relevant lines from /var/adm/messages from both nodes. Other useful information would include clips of format and scdidadm output.

That would allow others to make more informed comments on what the problem might be.

Thanks,

Tim
