Well, that might explain it since the last time I had to do this was on a 2.5.1 Solaris system.

your process would've worked if you reformatted the metadb slice on 1 of the drives prior to rebooting ... the system enables disksuite on bootup and sees intact metadbs so it tries to configure the filesystems under disksuite control like normal ... removing the metadbs ensures that the system doesn't have disksuite running ... and everything related to disksuite in /etc/system --- from "Begin MDD" to "End MDD" needed to get removed and not just commented out ...
I hadn't thought that formatting the metadb slice would have mattered. I removed the MDD entries from /etc/system and removed /etc/system all together on further boots just in case.

Quote:
the fsck of the individual filesystems while they were still mirrored, however, did not sound too good --- i think they should have been done after the mirrors were broken and the box rebooted ...
Yea, that could have been a problem, however we did boot it several times over a few days and fscked the systems a few times so disk suite should have been off the system pretty quickly.

if you didn't know this yet ...
you don't need to go into single user mode to reset the eeprom entries if you don't want to (see "man eeprom") ... and you could also set them from the ok prompt as required (see this )
Yep, knew that. Thanks though.

lessecho

LESSECHO(1)						      General Commands Manual						       LESSECHO(1)

NAME

       lessecho - expand metacharacters, such as * and ?, in filenames on Unix systems.

SYNOPSIS

       lessecho [-ox] [-cx] [-pn] [-dn] [-a] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the lessecho command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       lessecho is a program that simply echos its filename arguments on standard output. But  any  argument  containing  spaces  is  enclosed	in
       quotes.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options are included below.

       -ox    Specifies "x" to be the open quote character.

       -cx    Specifies "x" to be the close quote character.

       -pn    Specifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an integer.

       -dn    Specifies "n" to be the close quote character, as an integer.

       -a     Specifies that all arguments are to be quoted. The default is that only arguments containing spaces are quoted.
