Hello all,
I need to know if there is a way to recover a mirror after accidentally
deleting databases using the metadb command. I had a disk crash on me
and in trying to get the machine back up I issued the command " metadb
-d -f c0t0d0s7" though the disk that crashed was c0t1d0s7. This caused a
panic during boot(I have read that there is NO WAY to recover from
deleted metadatabases). I then had to force a new vfstab to boot the
single disk. My two questions are:
1. What file gets deleted when the metadb -d -f command is executed. My
md.cf file was still very much intact in /etc/opt/SUNWmd as was the
other cf files but the system panicked during boot.
2. How to bring a system online with only one disk in a mirror?
Any advice would be appreciated.
