SUMMARY: metaset: not owner of metadevice database

2007-12-25 5:34:00

Problem was: could not take a svm diskset after power loss.

One reply from Aaron Lineberger.

It was a me too although on Solaris 9. He suggested to purge the diskset
and recreate it, for him without data loss.

I followed this advice and got everything as before also without any data
loss.

Caveat: every metadevice must be recreated exactly as it was,
especially raid devices or mirrors should not be initialized or
resynced, and surely no newfs. In our case there were only some soft
partitions as it's hw raid. I could mount them all after a reboot.

Thanks again Aaron.

Hi,

after a power loss a new v240 (solaris 10) can't see a previously defined
diskset on a third party scsi raid array (transtec 6200):

# metaset

Set name = trans1, Set number = 1

Host Owner
v240 No (auto)

Drive Dbase

c5t0d0 No

# metaset -s trans1 -t
metaset: v240: rpc.metad: Permission denied

# metaset -s trans1 -f -t
metaset: v240: trans1: not owner of metadevice database

# metaset -s trans1 -f -C take
metaset: v240: trans1: not owner of metadevice database

The strange thing is, it seems there are no metadb replicas on c5t0d0.
Disk slices look correct like any disk in a diskset: s7 15mb on cyl 0,
the rest of 545gb on slice 0.

There is only one host defined for this diskset, because it's still in
setup and testing. It is planned to give access to a second sun box as a
cold standby.

Is this svm diskset config messed up? Can we repair it somehow? It would
be no problem to delete the diskset if necessary, but I really would like
to be able to handle such a situation.

Local metadevices all look ok.

Thanks,
Michael
