How to Create Configuration Files

Once you have defined all appropriate parameters for the Solaris Volume Manager environment, use the metastat -p command to create the /etc/lvm/md.tab file.

# metastat -p > /etc/lvm/md.tab

This file contains all parameters for use by the metainit, and metahs commands, in case you need to set up several similar environments or re-create the configuration after a system failure.

For more information about the md.tab file, see Overview of the md.tab File.
