Importing a Disk Set

The metaimport command enables you to import disk sets into existing Solaris Volume Manager configurations that have device ID support in the disk set. You can also use the metaimport command to report on disk sets that are available for import.

The metaimport command does not import a disk in a disk set if the disk does not contain a volume or a state database replica. When you import a disk set to another system, you might find that a disk is missing from the disk set. This scenario occurs if a volume or a state database replica have not been added to the disk or have been deleted from the disk. For example, maximum of 50 state database replicas are allowed per Solaris Volume Manager disk set. If you have 60 disks in a disk set, the 10 disks that do not contain a state database replica must contain a volume in order to be imported with the disk set.
