Volume groups
Do we have concepts of volume groups in solaris like we have in Linux(command: vgdiplay) and AIX(command: lsvg).

If yes, then what commands/ files can give details for same.

it depends on which volumemanagement you are using... there is ZFS and SDS. or also veritas volumemanager.

do you mean disk set in solaris is nothing but what is named as volume groups in other OS.

How can I get information about following for disk set with sun solaris volume manager:

permissions
state
type
count
auxId
format
metaDataAreas
metaDataSequenceNumber
physicalExtentSize
totalPhysicalExtents
allocatedPhysicalExtents
freePhysicalExtents

What commands/ files could have this information.

metaset and metastat does not hold this information ?
