metadevice problem
hi all
i am very new to solaris...i am trying configure raid 0 in my ultrascsi box which is having 6 sun36GB hard disks. I have created 4 state database replicas in the following slices /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7 /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s7 /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s7 and /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s7. i could not use any other slices in this controller to create a mirror. when i give
# metainit d10 1 1 c1t3d0s6 ( this is a 33 GB slice in the hard disk) it says
metainit: u15_9: c1t3d0s6: overlaps with device in metadevice state database. The same thing happening on other targets (t1, t2 and t4) too. Where i am wrong...i could not trace not the problem. I need someone's help.
Sorry for my english if u feel it is bad. i am using solaris 5.10..SPARC IIe architecture.
Regards
Kingston
