    Dear SunManagers,

    I'm trying to build a Disaster recovery machine on a Sun 3500. The system
    i'm replicating has Veritas Volume Manager which isn't available on the
    second machine, this problem isn't blocking as i can use soft-partitions.

    The problem is after a reboot the created soft partition can't be used, as
    it looks like it isn't intialized:

    bash-2.03# metastat d101
    metastat: servername: d101: unit not set up

    but recreating the softpartitions has unexpected results...

    bash-2.03# metainit d101 -p c1t0d0s0 2Gb
    metainit: servername: d101: unit already set up

    in fact /etc/lvm/md.cf has a line for the d101 soft-partition.

    Running Solaris 8 with latest patch cluster and latest DiskSuite patch

    Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Luca
