metad and metamhd

comp.unix.solaris: Re: Running Solstice Disk Suite in a DMZ for ftp?:

"No errors. RPC is only needed for metatool (the GUI) and if you are doing remote metaset managment (unlikely in this case).
You could set everything up via command line (metadb, metainit,
metattach...) without the RPC services.
The docs cover all the common tasks done via command line only."
