Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Use the metassist Command with Verbose Output

Steps
  1. Make sure that you have the necessary prerequisites for using top down volume creation (the metassist command).

  2. Identify available storage on which to create the volume.

  3. Use the following form of the metassist command to create a stripe and specify verbose output:


    metassist create-s diskset-name -S size-v verbosity
    
    • create is the subcommand to create volumes.

    • -s diskset-name specifies the name of the disk set to use for the volumes.

    • -S size specifies the size of the volume to create in KB, MB, GB, or TB, for kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes, respectively.

    • -v verbosity specifies how verbose the output should be. The default level is 1, and allowable values range from 0 (nearly silent output) to 2 (significant output).

    See the following examples and the metassist(1M) man page for more information.

  4. Use the metastat command to view the new volume.
