After moving a RAID5 from a Solaris 8 machine to another Solaris 8
machine and issuing the "metainit -k" command I get the error:

metainit: devices were not RAIDed previously or are specified in the
wrong order

I recreated the state databases as suggested in

http://www.deathwish.net/solaris/mig...tadevices.html

and my mddb.cf table looks exaclty the same as the one in the old
machine.

I am also typing the slices in the right order when I issue the metainit
-k command. I also tried adding the line

d1 -r c1t1d0s6 c1t2d0s6 c1t3d0s6 c1t4d0s6 c1t5d0s6 c1t6d0s6 c1t9d0s6
c1t10d0s6 c1t11d0s6 c1t12d0s6 c1t13d0s6 c1t14d0s6 -k -i 32b

in the md.tab file and then typing "metainit -a" and I get the exact
same error message:

metainit: devices were not RAIDed previously or are specified in the
wrong order

since I assume it does the same thing than typing it manually. I've been
carefull to always use the -k option in metainit to avoid deleting any
data.

I'm wondering if anybody has any insight on how to reenable the RAID
device?


Thanks,
