3.3.2 How to Add and Register a Disk Device Group (Solstice DiskSuite)

Use the metaset(1M) command to create a Solstice DiskSuite diskset and register it as a Sun Cluster disk device group. When you register the diskset, the name you assigned to the diskset will automatically be assigned to the disk device group.

1. Become superuser on the node connected to the disks where you want to create the diskset.

2. Use the metaset command to add the Solstice DiskSuite diskset and register it as a disk device group with Sun Cluster.

   # metaset -s diskset -a -h nodelist

   -s diskset

   Specifies the diskset to be created.

   -a -h nodelist

   Adds the list of nodes that can master the diskset.

3. Verify that the disk device group has been added.

   The disk device group name will match the diskset name specified with metaset.

   # scconf -p | grep disk-device-group
