Hello, Thanks to those who provided suggestions. In the end I found a way of solving the problem, albeit quite brutal : disconnecting a volume from the host in question. The volumes are connected to the machine from a SAN, so it was easy to unmap one half of the mirror, and then use "metadetach -f" and "metaclear" commands to remove the devices which were now in error state. I then re-mapped the volume to the machine. Thanks, John. ------------------------- Original question: Hello, I wish to completely destroy a disk suite mirror that I have mistakenly created. A resync is currently in progress between the two halves of the mirror, and as the volumes are quite large this will take some time. Also, as I am experimenting with various configurations I don't wish to wait for the resync each time. Is there a way to force metaclear and/or metadetach commands despite the resync? The -f option does not work (...resync in progress). I thought about destroying the meta database but as there are other metadevices involved that I want to keep this is not an option. Besides, I'm not certain of the impact of doing this. The mirror in question is under control of a metaset, I'm not sure if that is relevant: # metastat -s test1 -p test1/d100 -m test1/d101 test1/d102 1 test1/d101 1 1 /dev/dsk/c4t1d0s0 test1/d102 1 1 /dev/dsk/c4t1d0s0 Maybe there is a way to destroy the metaset, thereby destroying the mirror underneath?
