Yes it works,
but how to metattach the d20? coz when i run this, it prompt out the error.
please help
***this is the extra question, =)
how come this time need to do extra two step to overcome the problem. i got some question, kindly advise me
1. why need run this?
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
metadb -afc3 c0t0d0s7 c0t1d0s7
coz previously i only need to run metainit to setup the mirror.
2. is it everytime doing mirror disk, need to run the above command?
3. "with at list 3 replicas after copying the partiton table" what is replicas ?
You are not following the proper procedure. There lies the problem
Anyway, before you do attach, you need to edit /etc/vfstab file to chane raw device to md device naming. Then reboot the system. Once rebooted, then you do metattach d0 d20
Kindly review this link http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Mir...DiskSuite.html

Something should definitely be wrong if this is what you've been doing. Kindly check all your systems. If your mirroring is not proper or robust, you will loose data sooner or later.

i use wrong procedure already.. haha... so next time i should run this two first and the continue to do the mirroring =)
after i update the vfstab file, and reboot the system, it cannot boot,
any idea? =)
Something is really wrong. You need to be very careful. Its normal for this to happen if there is syntax problem in vfstab or something else. Redo your procedures again. Please find some help who is proficient in SVM. Boot from cdrom to single user, copy back the backup vfstab file and boot. Do the steps once over cleanly again. At least show us what's the error.
