How to Check the Status of a Diskset (Command Line)

Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Maintaining DiskSuite Objects"). Use the metaset(1M) command to view diskset status. Refer to the metaset(1M) man page for more information.


Note -

Diskset ownership is only shown on the owning host.


Example -- Checking Status of a Specified Diskset


red# metaset -s relo-red
Set name = relo-red, Set number = 1
 
Host                Owner
  red                Yes
  blue
 
Drive               Dbase
  c1t2d0             Yes
  c1t3d0             Yes
  c2t2d0             Yes
  c2t3d0             Yes
  c2t4d0             Yes
  c2t5d0             Yes

The metaset(1M) command with the -s option followed by the name of the relo-red diskset displays status information for that diskset. By issuing the metaset command from the owning host, red, it is determined that red is in fact the diskset owner. The metaset command also displays drives in the diskset.

Example -- Checking Status of All Disksets


red# metaset
Set name = relo-red, Set number = 1
 
Host                Owner
  red                Yes
  blue
 
Drive               Dbase
  c1t2d0             Yes
  c1t3d0             Yes
  c2t2d0             Yes
  c2t3d0             Yes
  c2t4d0             Yes
  c2t5d0             Yes
 
Set name = relo-blue, Set number = 2
 
Host                Owner
  red
  blue
 
Drive               Dbase
  c3t2d0             Yes
  c3t3d0             Yes
  c3t4d0             Yes
  c3t5d0             Yes
 
Set name = rimtic, Set number = 3
 
Host                Owner
  red
  blue
 
Drive               Dbase
  c4t2d0             Yes
  c4t3d0             Yes
  c4t4d0             Yes
  c4t5d0             Yes

The metaset command by itself displays the status of all disksets. In this example, three disksets named relo-red, relo-blue, and rimtic are configured. Because host red owns the relo-red diskset, metaset shows red as the owner. Host blue owns the other two disksets, relo-blue and rimtic. This could only be determined if metaset were run from host blue.
