metadb Issue

Hello:

I am having a problem getting additional metadb's setup on a Sun Server. No
matter how I configure the additional six drives I cannot get the newly
created metadb to be recognized properly. There isn't anything glaring in
the system logs. I have deleted and recreated the metadb's on each of the
six additional drives with the same result. Based on the man page for
metadb the M signifies that the replica has problem with master blocks.
There isn't any further documentation out there other than to retry the
setup, which I have done repeatedly. Not giving up, but figured if I sent
out this maybe someone else has also encountered this problem and knows a
solution I am not finding.

Thanks,

Lauri-
