as Qunicy pointed out ,  you will need to provide the diskgroup name.

To list disk groups

symdisk list -sid 123 -by_diskgroup

once you identified which one you want to use, you add the "disk_group=" parameter to your create file.

Seems your bin has more than one disk group, and meta volumes can't span disk groups.

Correct, trying to form a meta from the available devs in the array, so I have several non-consecutive devs in the array to use.

sorry, i thought you were creating brand new devices, you are just trying to create a meta device right ?

So I do can create a meta with devs from different DiskGroups but I have to identify them? or can't use devs from different DiskGroups?

So from the list you have to figure out if the devices that you wish to be part of meta resides on the same disk group or not?

I like the command:

symdev list -disk_group #

to make sure i have the list of the device which resides on a particular disk group and then choose the devices which needs to be converted to meta

Thanks! I think that the problem was the geometry of the disks on each diskgroup.

don't you have a way to confirm?
