Greetings,
We got a problem recently with one of our disks on a E250 server; After
taking out the disk and placing it on the same place the disk started to
work again (well, thats what the format utility tells us).
We broke the mirror on the server before taking out the disk and now we
are trying to reuse it (the disk is brand new and the "failure" was
really weird), but when we start metatool it just stays there forever:
[josevnz@linux0037 josevnz]$ ssh -A -X root@XXXXX
root@lenbkx0005's password:

# metatool
Warning: Cannot convert string "lucidasans-bold12" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "lucidasans8" to type FontStruct

Initializing metatool... Done.
Discovering drives and slices... (<!--- stops here)
Top, or vmstat doesn't showe any activity for the tool).
I'm running Solaris 2.7 with all the patches installed:
# uname -a
SunOS lenbkx0005 5.7 Generic_106541-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
Solstice DiskSuite tools installed:
bash-2.05# pkginfo |grep SUNWmd
system SUNWmd Solstice DiskSuite
system SUNWmdg Solstice DiskSuite Tool
system SUNWmdn Solstice DiskSuite Log Daemon
Should i try to format that disk first before trying to use metatool?
(i'm not sure if format will tell me if the disk is ok or not).
I will summarize after i got a workable solution.
JV
