hi, Managers

Small query here

    Is it possible to put the metadb replicas
on the Disk which are part of Mirror ?

  
I am trying to mirror a disk
using DiskSuite 4.2.1 on a system running Solaris 8 (sparc).

I have a system
which has two physivally identical diskdrives
which were identically
partitioned using prtvtoc + fmthard
combination. Both disk have two
unassigned partitions for state
database replicas. These partitions are:
c0t0d0s4
                c0t0d0s5
                c0t2d0s5
                c0t2d0s4

If I do the state database replicas
one by one I the first two
go fine:

        #metadb -f -a c0t0d0s4
        #metadb -f -a
c0t0d0s5

and the last two get the followign error message:

        #metadb -f -a
c0t2d0s4
metadb: netra1: c0t2d0s4: overlaps with device in metadevice state
database
#metadb -f -a c0t2d0s5
metadb: netra1: c0t2d0s5: overlaps with device
in metadevice state
        database

I can get past this by giving all the devices
in one line:

        #metadb -a -f c0t0d0s4 c0t0d0s5 c0t2d0s4 c0t2d0s5
        
        
However
now when I try to init the submirrors I get the same
error message again:
#metainit -f d11 1 1 c0t0d0s0
d11: Concat/Stripe is setup
#metainit -f d12 1
1 c0t2d0s0
metainit: netra1: c0t2d0s0: overlaps with device in d11

How can I
get This done ?
