[SunHELP] Disksuite & metainit

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Mike

Have you tried the graphical tool for setting the volumes up etc?

I find that much easier than fighting the command line.

Also go to

http://docs.sun.com/ab2/coll.260.1/DISKSUITEUG/@Ab2TocView/2923/*;td=1?DwebQ
uery=disksuite+OR+4.2&oqt=disksuite+4.2&Ab2Lang=C&Ab2Enc=iso-8859-1

I found the Sun docs pretty good when I started out the first time (albeit
with the Xwindow version)

Hope this might relieve your frustration

Peter

Hi.

I'm trying to setup a software RAID using Disksuite, but I can't seem to
get anywhere! I've read parts of the manual (no, not the whole thing)
and I've edited the /etc/lvd/md.tab file according to the manual, but
when I try and create the state database I keep getting an error message
saying that there are no existing databases! I KNOW THAT. How do I get
metainit or metadb or whatever to CREATE the needed files?

This has got me VERY frustrated, and if I can't figure it out soon,
I might have a used Sun for sale with a few bulletholes in it :)

-Mike
