Perform this procedure to activate Solaris Volume Manager volumes that are defined in md.tab files.
phys-schost# cldevicegroup switch -n node device-group
Specifies the node that takes ownership.
Specifies the disk set name.
phys-schost# metainit -s setname -a
Specifies the disk set name.
Activates all volumes in the md.tab file.
If necessary, run the metainit(1M) command from another node that has connectivity to the drives. This step is required for cluster-pair topologies where the drives are not accessible by all nodes.
phys-schost# metastat -s setname
See the metastat(1M) man page for more information.
An archived backup of your cluster configuration facilitates easier recovery of the your cluster configuration. For more information, see How to Back Up the Cluster Configuration in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 System Administration Guide.
In the following example, all volumes that are defined in the md.tab file for disk set dg-schost-1 are activated.
phys-schost# metainit -s dg-schost-1 -a
Next Steps
If your cluster contains disk sets that are configured with exactly two disk enclosures and two nodes, add dual-string mediators. Go to Configuring Dual-String Mediators.
