How to Remove Disks from a Disk Set

To delete a disk set, you must first delete all drives from the disk set.

• From the Enhanced Storage tool within the Solaris Management Console, open the Disk Sets node. Right-click the Disk Set you want to release, then choose Properties from the menu. Click the Disks tab and follow the instructions in the online help.

• Use the following form of the metaset command:

  metaset -s diskset-name-d drivename

  -s diskset-name

  Specifies the name of a disk set on which the metaset command will work.

  drive-name

  Specifies the drives to delete from the disk set. Drive names are in the form cxtxdx; no “sx” slice identifiers are at the end of the name.

  See the metaset(1M) man page for more information.

1. Verify that the disk has been deleted from the disk set by using the metaset -s diskset-name command.

   # metaset -s blue
