Example—Adding Two State Database Replicas to the Same Slice

# metadb -a -c 2 c1t3d0s1
# metadb
        flags         first blk      block count
...
     a        u         16              8192            /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s1
     a        u         8208            8192            /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s1

The -a option adds additional state database replicas to the system. The -c 2 option places two replicas on the specified slice. The metadb command checks that the replicas are active, as indicated by the -a.

You can also specify the size of the state database replica with the -l option, followed by the number of blocks. However, the default size of 8192 should be appropriate for virtually all configurations, including those configurations with thousands of logical volumes.
