Attempt to take the disk set with the metaset command.
# metaset -s setname -t -f |
This command will attempt to take (-t) the disk set named setname forcibly (-f). If the set can be taken, this command will succeed. If the set is owned by another host when this command runs, the other host will panic to avoid data corruption or loss. If this command succeeds, you can delete the disk set cleanly, without the need to purge the set.
If it is not possible to take the set, you may purge ownership records.
Use the metaset command with the -P to purge the disk set from the current host.
# metaset -s setname -P |
This command will purge (-P) the disk set named setname from the host on which the command is run.
Use the metaset command to verify that the set has been purged.
# metaset |
host1# metaset -s red -t -f metaset: host1: setname "red": no such set |
host2# metaset Set name = red, Set number = 1 Host Owner host2 Drive Dbase c1t2d0 Yes c1t3d0 Yes c1t8d0 Yes host2# metaset -s red -P host2# metaset |
