Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide

Example—Creating a RAID 5 Volume of Three Slices


# metainit d45 -r c2t3d0s2 c3t0d0s2 c4t0d0s2
d45: RAID is setup

In this example, the RAID 5 volume d45 is created with the -r option from three slices. Because no interlace value is specified, d45 uses the default of 16 Kbytes. The system verifies that the RAID 5 volume has been set up, and begins initializing the volume.

You must wait for the initialization to finish before you can use the RAID 5 volume.
