2.2.13 Disable Solaris Volume Manager GUI - Make sure that network/rpc/metamed is disabled.

Information

The Solaris Volume Manager, formerly Solstice DiskSuite, provides software RAID capability for Solaris systems.

This functionality can either be controlled via the GUI administration tools provided with the operating system, or via the command line. However, the GUI tools cannot function without several daemons listed in Item 2.3.12 Disable Solaris Volume Manager Services enabled.

If you have disabled Solaris Volume Manager Services, also disable the Solaris Volume Manager GUI.

Note - Since these services use Oracle's standard RPC mechanism, it is important that the system's RPC portmapper (rpcbind) also be enabled when these services are turned on. For more information see Item 2.3.14 Disable Local RPC Port Mapping Service.

Solution

To disable the GUI administration tools for the Solaris Volume Manager, run the following commands-
svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/mdcomm
svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/meta
svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/metamed
svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/metamh
