importing a disk set
The metaimport command allows you to import disk sets from one system to another.
Become superuser.
Obtain a report on disk sets available for import.
# metaimport -r -v |
Provides a report of the unconfigured disk sets available for import on the system.
Provides detailed information about the state database (metadb) replica location and status on the disks of unconfigured disk sets available for import on the system.
The following examples show how to print a report on disk sets available for import. The output from the metaimport command distinguishes between regular disk sets and replicated disk sets.
# metaimport -r # metaimport -r Drives in regular diskset including disk c1t2d0: c1t2d0 c1t3d0 More info: metaimport -r -v c1t2d0 Import: metaimport -s <newsetname> c1t2d0 Drives in replicated diskset including disk c1t4d0: c1t4d0 c1t5d0 More info: metaimport -r -v c1t4d0 Import: metaimport -s <newsetname> c1t4d0 # metaimport -r -v c1t2d0 Import: metaimport -s <newsetname> c1t2d0 Last update: Mon Dec 29 14:13:35 2003 Device offset length replica flags c1t2d0 16 8192 a u c1t3d0 16 8192 a u |
Become superuser.
Verify that a disk set is available for import.
# metaimport -r -v |
Import an available disk set.
# metaimport -s diskset-name disk-name |
Specifies the name of the disk set being created.
Identifies a disk (c#t#d#) containing a state database replica from the disk set being imported.
Verify that the disk set has been imported.
# metaset -s diskset-name |
The following example shows how to import a disk set.
# metaimport -s red c1t2d0 Drives in diskset including disk c1t2d0: c1t2d0 c1t3d0 c1t8d0 More info: metaimport -r -v c1t2d0 # metaset -s red Set name = red, Set number = 1 Host Owner host1 Yes Drive Dbase c1t2d0 Yes c1t3d0 Yes c1t8d0 Yes |
