Example—Viewing RAID 5 Volume Status

Here is sample RAID 5 volume output from the metastat command.


# metastat
d10: RAID
    State: Okay        
    Interlace: 32 blocks
    Size: 10080 blocks
Original device:
    Size: 10496 blocks
        Device              Start Block  Dbase State        Hot Spare
        c0t0d0s1                 330     No    Okay        
        c1t2d0s1                 330     No    Okay        
        c2t3d0s1                 330     No    Okay 

The metastat command output identifies the volume as a RAID 5 volume. For each slice in the RAID 5 volume, it shows the name of the slice in the stripe, the block on which the slice begins, an indicator that none of these slices contain a state database replica, that all the slices are okay, and that none of the slices are hot spare replacements for a failed slice.
