Mirroring Solaris
Hi,

I'm trying to setup mirroring, but i get an error.

what have done is.
Code:
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2

Then i created the metadb.
Code:
metadb -a -f c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7

now i wan't to metainit.
Code:
metainit -f d11 1 1 c1t0d0s0
metainit -f d12 1 1 c1t1d0s0
metainit: solaris-103: c1t1d0s0: Overlaps with device in d11

Did you label the disks and verify before you started metainit?Both disks of the same size? Why are you not creating enough replicas for metadb?
post the format output. whats the solaris version?

Solaris 10
There are only two disks of the same size.
I did'nt label the disks with format, is this neccasary?
I only wan't the metadb's on slice 7 of both disk. I only have two disks and one root slice one swap slice and slice 7 for the metadb's

I'll put the output of format in the next post when i get home.
