The 146 GB disk are standard drives for the V240. I had done the following :
# metadb -a -f -c2 c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7 c1t2d0s7 c1t3d0s7 and then setup stripes and mirrors with metainit . run metaroot and fixed up /etc/vfstab. Then after the reboot , the system could not mount the Root filesystem. So I booted from the CD again and undid the changes to /a/etc/system and /a/etc/vfstab after a second reboot i ran : # metadb -i ...... And there were no mddb's in sight anywhere on the system. Then I reran the Above # metadb -a -f -c2 c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7 c1t2d0s7 c1t3d0s7 Verified that the mddb's were inplace and rebooted again. Same result, the mddb's had vanished from the system. Thirdly I ran just # metadb -a -f -c2 c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7 And ignored the two 146 GB disks. then Again Reboot. This time the mddb's survived and I could see them with "metadb -i" //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org
