Perform this procedure on each node in the cluster.
Become superuser on the cluster node.
Create replicas on one or more local disks for each cluster node by using the metadb command.
Refer to the metadb(1M) man page and your Solstice DiskSuite documentation for details.
To provide protection of metadevice state data, which is necessary to run Solstice DiskSuite software, create at least three replicas for each node. Also, placing replicas on more than one disk provides protection if one of the disks fails.
Verify the replicas.
# metadb |
The following example shows three metadevice state database replicas, each created on a different disk.
# metadb -af c0t0d0s7 c0t1d0s7 c1t0d0s7 # metadb flags first blk block count a u 16 1034 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 a u 1050 1034 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7 a u 2084 1034 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 |
If you want to mirror file systems on the root disk, go to "Mirroring the Root Disk". Otherwise, to create Solstice DiskSuite disksets, go to "How to Create a Diskset".
