Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide

Example—Taking a Disk Set


lexicon# metaset
...
Set name = blue, Set number = 1
 
Host                Owner
  lexicon
  idiom
...
lexicon# metaset -s blue -t
lexicon# metaset
...
Set name = blue, Set number = 1
 
Host                Owner
  lexicon                Yes
  idiom
...

In this example, host lexicon communicates with host idiom and ensures that host idiom has released the disk set before host lexicon attempts to take the set.

In this example, if host idiom owned the set blue, the “Owner” column in the above output would still have been blank. The metaset command only shows whether the issuing host owns the disk set, and not the other host.
