Data Metaset repartitioning
Dear all,
This metaset stuff drive me crazy.
The story begin with the Solaris 8 upgrade....
We have a pair of Solaris 8 with Sun Cluster 3.1, to prevent a long downtime, the Live Upgrade was chosen. As metadb cannot use LU to upgrade directly, we remove the diskset before upgrade, and put it back to a new diskset after upgrade.
here comes a nightmare, as SDS using a small slice while SVM needs a bigger one, so guess what.....REPARTITION...take place.
I am talking about 3TB of database, so, it will take days to restore the data back, not even a weekend can finish, still thinking what to do.

Any advice is really apreciated!!

Thanks and Regards,
Donald

clprivnet

clprivnet(7)					     Sun Cluster Device and Network Interfaces					      clprivnet(7)

NAME

       clprivnet - SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver

SYNOPSIS

       /dev/clprivnet

DESCRIPTION

       Note -

	 Beginning  with  the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
	 still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more  infor-
	 mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.

       The  SUNW,clprivnet  Sun  Cluster  private  network driver is a STREAMS pseudo driver supporting Sun Cluster resident applications that use
       standard Solaris interfaces to communicate over the Sun Cluster private network. By striping data traffic over all links, this driver opti-
       mally utilizes the bandwidth of the private network while supporting highly available, software fault-tolerant communication.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

       The driver is supported by the character-special device /dev/clprivnet, but is reserved for Sun Cluster internal operation and the standard
       Solaris network utilities. This interface must not be directly used for general application communication.

ADMINISTRATION

       The administration and configuration of the driver as a network interface is done completely by the Sun Cluster infrastructure internals.

FILES

       /dev/clprivnet

	   clprivnet special character device

       /usr/kernel/drv/clprivnet.conf

	   System-wide default device driver properties
