[SUMMARY] SDS metaset "lock" problem

Thanks to Muralidharan P for his/her response.

Answer: Kill any associated rpc processes.  If either/both of these processes
are running, kill them.

rpc.metad
rpc.metamhd


Thanks again.

Subject: SDS metaset "lock" problem


Hello gurus,  I need your help with SDS (Solstice DiskSuite).

System: E3500, Sol 2.6, 6 connected photons, hostname=prometheus, metaset=nfs

I am trying to remove disks from my metaset (metaset -s nfs -d -f c3t0d0).
I am trying to remove a metadb from the diskset (metadb -s nfs -d -f c3t0d0s7).

I get the following same error when I run those commands;
   metaset: prometheus: nfs: set lock failed - bad key
   metadb: prometheus: nfs: set lock failed - bad key

Short of rebooting the box, is there anyway to fix this?

TIAWS

  The box says: Win98, WinNT or BETTER. That's why I installed Linux.
