# which metadb
/usr/sbin/metadb

This time metadb may fail with a different error.

# metadb
metadb: <HOST>: /dev/md/admin: No such file or directory

Check if md.conf exists.

# ls -l  /kernel/drv/md.conf 
-rw-r--r--   1 root     sys          295 Apr 26 15:07 /kernel/drv/md.conf

Dynamically re-scan md.conf so the device tree gets updated.

# update_drv -f md

# ls -l  /dev/md/admin
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root 31 Apr 20 10:12 /dev/md/admin -> ../../devices/pseudo/md@0:admin

# metadb
metadb: <HOST>: there are no existing databases

Now Solaris Volume Manager is ready to use.

eg.,
#  metadb -f -a c0t5000CCA00A5A7878d0s0

# metadb
        flags           first blk       block count
     a        u         16              8192          /dev/dsk/c0t5000CCA00A5A7878d0s0
