NAME

metaclear − clears active metadevices

SYNOPSIS

/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/metaclear [−s setname ] −a [−f ]
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/metaclear [−s setname ] [−f ] metadevice... 
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/metaclear [−s setname ] −r [−f ] metadevice... 
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/metaclear −h

AVAILABILITY

This program is available with the Solstice DiskSuite software package (SUNWmd). 

DESCRIPTION

metaclear clears (removes from active configuration) all configured metadevice(s) or the specified metadevice. Once a metadevice is cleared, it must be reconfigured using metainit(1M) before it can be used again. 

Note that any metadevice currently in use (open) cannot be cleared. 

OPTIONS

−a Clears all metadevices configured. 

−h Displays usage message.  The −h option overrides the −a option if both are entered on the command line. 

−r Recursively clears metadevices. 

−f Clears a mirror with a submirror in an errored state. 

−s setname
Specifies the name of the diskset on which metaclear will work.  Using the −s option will cause the command to perform its administrative function within the specified diskset.  Without this option, the command will perform its function on your local metadevices and/or hot spare pools.
