Man Page Of METASTAT

DESCRIPTION
     The metastat command displays the current  status  for  each
     metadevice  (including  stripes,  concatenations, concatena-
     tions of stripes, mirrors, RAID5, and trans devices) or  hot
     spare pool, or of specified metadevices or hot spare pools.

     It is helpful to run the metastat command  after  using  the
     metattach command to view the status of the metadevice.

OPTIONS
     -h   Displays usage message.

     -p   Displays the list of active metadevices and  hot  spare
          pools in a format like md.tab.

     -s setname
          Specifies the name of the  diskset  on  which  metastat
          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  metadevices  and/or  hot
          spare pools in the local diskset.

     -t   Prints the current status and timestamp for the  speci-
          fied  metadevices  and  hot  spare pools. The timestamp
          provides the date and time of the last state change.

     metadevice...
          Displays the status of the specified metadevice(s).  If
          a trans metadevice is specified, the status of the mas-
          ter and log devices is also displayed.

     hot_spare_pool...
          Displays the status of the specified hot spare pool(s).

     The following example shows the partial output of the metas-
     tat  command  after creating a mirror, d0, consisting of two
     submirrors, d70 and d80.

     # metastat d0
     d0: Mirror
         Submirror 0: d80
           State: Okay
         Submirror 1: d70
           State: Resyncing
         Resync in progress: 15 % done
         Pass: 1
         Read option: roundrobin (default)
         Write option: parallel (default)

WARNING
     metastat prints  states  as  of  the  time  the  command  is
     entered.   It is unwise to use the output of the metastat -p
     command to create a md.tab(4) file for a number of reasons:
     o The output of metastat -p may show hot spares being used.
     o  It  may  show  mirrors  with  multiple  submirrors.   See
      metainit  for  instructions  for creating multi-way mirrors
      using metainit and metattach.
     o A slice may go into an error state after  metastat  -p  is
      issued.
