Hello,
We have this system a SunFire 280R running Solaris 8 Generic_117350-46. It has 2 36GB disks in it. They are mirrored with DiskSuite 4.2.1.
When we execute a metastat all the devices report an Okay status, but when we go into metatool everything is in the Critical (maintenance) state?
Can anyone explain this phenom or how to rectify it?
Thanks,
Mike
metatool was created as a knee-jerk reaction to Veritas creating the old VxVA (tin can style) GUI. VxVA worked quite well and metatool has never been a brilliant tool.
Anybody with any experience/sense would be better to ignore metatool and stick with the command line - it really is not difficult.
It is not in with the more recent versions so get used to the command line.
The man pages are all pretty will documented with good examples.
