Hi Guys
we have brandnew SUNfire280r machine two internal
optical drive mirrored already and new storage array
s1 with three 72gig drives(want to setup raid5 ). We
have two partitions on those three auxillary disk
slice 7 c2t0d0s7 c2t0d0s7 c2t0d0s7 is being used for
metadatabase. We are using c2t0d0s0 c2t1d0s0 c2t2d0s0
for slice 0 for data .

The problem is when I create metadatabase on Storage
array with metadb command the metadatabase is not
detected after reboot. By the metadb command its puts
in unknown state. Any idea what could be problem here
thanks in advance for your help
