Hello guys,

i am getting some errors as below when i want to perform maintainence on the disks of my servers,

getting errors like this "metareplace: myhost: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5: Invalid argument" when i execute

#metareplace -e d5 c1t0d0s5

kindly advise on this matter,am afraid to use -f with the metareplace fearing if anything would go wrong ...

Is you disk partitioned? If not it needs to be partitioned first.

Is that d5 a submirror? If not, use the submirror.

yes,the disk is partioned..d5 is a submirror...
these are my extra findings...

these are the disks that giving this error

: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3
: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5

is there any other ways to confirm disk errors...my format command output shows all disks are available.could this mean a minor disk problem?

You should use the mirror right? why sub-mirror?
#metareplace -e <mirror> <component>

Yes, that was a lapse on my part.
