Disksets with DiskSuite 4.2.1
2007-12-24 23:26:00
I'm having problems trying to get a shared diskset configuration set up
using two Solaris 8 (2/02 w/ latest patches, etc) and DiskSuite 4.2.1 (w/
108693-06). The two machines are attached (via fibrechannel) to two A5200
arrays, like this:
BoxA -------> ArrayA <------ BoxB
|
+---------> ArrayB
But right now, I'm just concerned with the BoxA <-> ArrayA/B part.
I believe I've met all of the requirements for adding the disks to a diskset
("not being used for a filesystem, database, or another other application",
they're symmetrical disks, it's on a SPARCstorage Array (A5xxx series)).
So I do as the documentation examples show:
boxa# metaset -s data -a -h boxa
boxa# metaset -s data -a c2t0d0 c2t1d0 c2t2t0 c2t3d0 c2t4d0
boxa# metaset
Set name = data, Set number = 1
Host Owner
boxa Yes
Drive Dbase
c2t0d0 Yes
c2t1d0 Yes
c2t2d0 Yes
c2t3d0 Yes
c2t4d0 Yes
Then I try the example given in the Solstice DiskSuite 4.2.1 User's Guide:
boxa# metainit -s data d51 1 1 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2
metainit: boxa: c2t0d0s2: No space left on device
boxa# metainit -s data d51 1 1 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
metainit: boxa: c2t1d0s2: No space left on device
[ ... ]
... not to mention a few other commands (like "metainit -s data d51 1 3
...") which all result in a "No space left on device". I've searched the
'net for this error message with DiskSuite, but haven't found anything
(well, found *one* message that didn't seem to be useful).
I've had no problems getting "standard" DiskSuite features to work (w/o
using disksets, that is).
Anyone have an idea as to why this may not be working? Am I missing
something?
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated.
