Mapping between metadevice and physical device in SDS

#1 (**permalink**) 01-12-2008, 06:06 AM

With Solaris DiskSuite ... how do you find out the corresponding
physical device for a given simple metadevice ?

The only reason that I can find out is that I save the settings in
/etc/lvm/md.tab .. but suppose I forgot to put new metadevices in there,
how do you find out the corresponding physical device from the
command-line ?

metastat -p will give you what you want

Check out the metastat options, and AFAIK soft partitions don't
appear in md.tab (but I am regularly wrong)
