Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Removing DiskSuite Objects") and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Removing Hosts and Disks From Disksets").
Remove the drive from the diskset by using the metaset(1M) command.
# metaset -s diskset -d [-f] drive... |
In this command,
-s diskset |
Specifies the name of a diskset on which metaset will work. |
-d |
Deletes the specified drivename(s). |
-f |
Forces the deletion of the last drive in the diskset, because this drive would implicitly contain the last state database replica. |
drive |
Specifies the drive(s) to be deleted from the diskset. They must be in the form cxtxdx with no slice specified. |
Use the -f option to delete the last drive in the diskset.
To verify that a drive has been removed from the diskset, use the metaset(1M) command.
red# metaset -s relo-red -d c2t5d0 red# metaset ... Host Owner red Yes blue Drive Dbase c1t2d0 Yes c1t3d0 Yes c2t2d0 Yes c2t3d0 Yes c2t4d0 Yes |
This example removes drive c2t5d0 from diskset relo-red. The metaset command confirms that the deleted drive is no longer part of the diskset.
