Yeh . Thank Phil . it is quite useful .  Now we see there are two
options . 1) without metadata 2) externally managed metadata . But we
would like to keep the metadata external to mirror leg ( like on host
local drive )  for the reasons mentioned below , not the externally
managed metadata , just by keeping metadata on mirror legs . Do we
have any option with md driver ?
I'm not sure I understand your follow-up question.  You've restated my
answer, and re-iterated your preference to not have metadata on the
member devices.

So you need to write a service to handle metadata the way you want.  Or
write scripts that will do --build operations at appropriate times
without metadata.

I'm not entirely clear why the on-member metadata is unacceptable, but
as such, either remaining option needs some code of your own.
