I am looking for a programatic way to determine which disk devices are
currently used and which are unused by any metadevices or metasets.

The metadevices are fairly easy, just parse the output of metstat -p
for the used devices.

Unfortunately, metaset only provides device names for devices
currently owned by the host. The presence of other metasets and their
owners is indicated, but not which devices they they contain.

I have thought about trying to rsh into the other hosts and grab the
output from metaset there, but I figured there *had* to be a better
way.

The reason I want this information, is that I am working on a script
to automate the creation of non-global Zones in our environment. I
want to be able to automate the creation of metasets and metadevices
as needed by the Zone as well.

Thanks.
