Deleting stuck Metaset in SDS

From: Rick von Richter (rickv@mwh.com)

System: UE3500, Sol 8(0202), SDS 4.2.1, 6 attached Photons

We have a metaset that we cannot delete. It is not used anymore so it is safe
to delete it but the system refuses to cooperate. The hostname is rhea.
Commands/Responses:
# metaset
Set name = nfsshares, Set number = 1

Host Owner
  rhea

Drive Dbase
  c12t7d0 No
  c12t8d0 No
  c12t9d0 No
  c12t10d0 No
  c13t23d0 No
  c13t24d0 No
  c13t25d0 No
  c13t26d0 No

(notice how none of the drives contain DBs)

# metaset -s nfsshares -t -f
metaset: rhea: nfsshares: not owner of metadevice database

Since the above command fails, I can't do anything with the metaset. Is there a
way to delete a metaset outside of SDS? I.e. delete some files/devices somewhere
to clear it out.

TIAWS
