1. Detach each submirror

ex. metadetach -f d0 d20
d0: submirror d20 is detached

2. Clear each submirror

ex. metaclear d20
d20: Concat/Stripe is cleared

3. Delete the db replica on the failed drive (you can find the replica output by issuing metadb command with no arguments):

ex. metadb -d c0t2d0s7

4. Remove failed drive. Replace with new drive.

5. Run the format command and place the correct partition table, using the layout of the non-replaced drive.

6. re-create the metadb replica on the new disk

ex. metadb -a c0t2d0s7

7. Run metainit for each replaced submirror

ex. metainit d21 1 1 c0t2d0s1
d21: Concat/Stripe is setup

8. Run metattach for each submirror

ex. metattach d0 d20
d0: submirror d20 is attached

ex. metattach d1 d21
d1: submirror d21 is attached

So you just logged into your unix system and you started typing and then oops you typed a wrong letter I mean charater.

root@server# ssfdkjfkjf^?^?^?^?

What are those funky charaters at the end, yup they are me trying to use the back space, but I just end up getting further away from the charaters that I am tryign to delete.

So now for the majick solution.

root@server# stty erase ^?

so the command stty sets options for the terminal session. Then you are telling it what key you want to use to erase with. Which is what the ^? is the erase key being used, so type stty erase space key then back space key then Enter, and you should be back to sanity once again.

If you want to set the nic speed and duplex of a Solaris machine you need to basically set up a script that wil be run at start up in one of the run levels preferably /etc/rc2.d/

/etc/rc2.d/S70ndd
