Applies to:
Sun Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) - Version 11.9.0 to 11.11 [Release 11.0]Solstice DiskSuite Software - Version 4.2.1 to 4.2.1 [Release 4.0]
Solaris Operating System - Version 11.3 to 11.3 [Release 11.0]
Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
Goal
On occasion, it may be necessary to remove all of the Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) state database replicas and all existing metadevices by a means other than the SVM command line interface or GUI application. Such situations usually involve an unexpected behavior by SVM commands that prevents normal operation, sometimes accompanied by error messages about stale database replicas.
This article describes a procedure to remove SVM configuration information entirely so that, after the next reboot, SVM will not be configured at all. The procedure includes capturing the current configuration in a way that allows rebuilding the configuration at a later time.
