have you tried breaking it into two changes?  Create your new devices and then turn them into meta's?  You may be running into a compare problem.  The compare is done as part of the prepare and commit, if you are creating devices and turning them into meta's in one change the compare may be failing on the meta's since the new volumes arent actually there.
I'm trying to create a 20Gb meta of 2 10Gb RAID1 devices using symcli and I'm running into a problem.  The command file contains the following: create dev count=1, size=21846,emulation=FBA,config=2-Way-Mir,meta_member_size=10923,meta_config=striped,disk_group=1;  When I run the symconfigure command I get the following response:  # symconfigure -sid 804 -f meta.cmd preview Execute a symconfigure operation for symmetrix '000123451234' (y/ ) ? y  A Configuration Change operation is in progress. Please wait...     Establishing a configuration change session...............Established.     Error occurred while Defining change number 1:    Cannot perform the requested operation because the symmetrix wide meta auto meta is disabled    Terminating the configuration change session..............Done. The configuration change session has failed.   Is my command file setup correctly for what I'm looking to do?  Reading the man page for symconfigure it looks like I need to set some auto_meta parameter, but I'm not sure how to do it and if it is something I should be doing anyway.  Ultimately, I need to create 64 metas like this and I do not currently have the RAID1 devs built.  Creating 128 10Gb devices and then creating the metas through ECC or SMC is not looking fun.  I appreciate the help in advance.  [IMAGE]
