Example—Adding State Database Replicas of Specific Size

If you are replacing existing state database replicas, you might need to specify a replica size. Particularly if you have existing state database replicas (on a system upgraded from Solstice DiskSuite, perhaps) that share a slice with a file system, you must replace existing replicas with other replicas of the same size or add new replicas in a different location.

# metadb -a -c 3 -l 1034 c0t0d0s7
# metadb
        flags         first blk      block count
...
     a      u         16             1034            /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
     a      u         1050           1034            /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
     a      u         2084           1034            /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7

The -a option adds the additional state database replica to the system, and the -l option specifies the length in blocks of the replica to add.
