NAME

metatool − create and administer DiskSuite 4.0 configurations

SYNOPSIS

metatool [ −s diskset ]

DESCRIPTION

metatool, which is named DiskSuite Tool, offers a graphical user interface for creating and administering DiskSuite 4.0 configurations.  metatool displays a graphical representation of all metadevices and a drag-and-drop interface for manipulation of the metadevices. 

All functionality available using the DiskSuite 4.0 command line interface is available from metatool, with the exceptions of the creation of disksets and the unmirroring of file systems you cannot umount(1M).  Disksets must be created using the DiskSuite 4.0 command-line utilities. Disksets can then be displayed by metatool using the −s option. 

When invoked on a system with an existing DiskSuite configuration, metatool displays all existing metadevices in the device list of the Metadevice Editor window. 

When initially invoked on a system that has no DiskSuite configuration, metatool displays an empty MetaDB (metadevice state database replica) object in the device list of the Metadevice Editor window. This object must be populated with a minimum of three state database replicas before other metadevices can be created. 

OPTIONS

The following options can be used with metatool:

-s diskset
Display metadevices configured in the specified diskset.

ENVIRONMENT

metatool supports the standard X11 environment variables.
