SUMMARY: Disksuite metatool problems

Thanks to Brian Kerr and William Hathaway.  I ended up using the command-line
tools to get what I needed done, but here's the fix for the Metatool
problems (turns out the install hadnt added these lines to my inetd.conf..):

During startup of the SDS gui 'metatool', the following error                   
is printed:  "RPC:program not registered."  
The tool may come up, but sometimes the data in the tool is incorrect.                   
      Problem Solution Top                                                      
                                                                                
The problem is probably in the '/etc/inetd.conf' file.  There are               
supposed to be two lines that are shown below.                                  
                                                                                
For DiskSuite 4.0 thru 4.2:

/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd rpc.metamhd                                    

For DiskSuite 4.2.1 and above:                                                  
                                                                                
# rpc.metad                                                                     
                                                                                
100229/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.metad rpc.metad                    
                                                                                
# rpc.metamhd                                                                   
                                                                                
100230/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.metamhd rpc.metamhd                
                                                                                
These lines normally fall at the bottom of the '/etc/inetd.conf' file. If       
these                                                                           
lines are not there, insert the appropriate lines into the file then run the    
following                                                                       
commands.  First find the process ID of the inetd process.                      
                                                                                
                # ps -ef | grep inetd                                           
                                                                                
Then, send a '-1' signal to the daemon which will cause it to re-read the       
configuration                                                                   
file shich you just edited:                                                     
                                                                                
                # kill -1 <pid>                                                 
                                                                                
Now you can attempt to run 'metatool'.
