I/O tree node does not exist

Bjørn Kristian Tørseth — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 10:16:01 GMT

Hi

When doing a vgextend I got this error message...

First doing a successfull pvcreate:
# pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0" has been successfully created.

Then problems:
# vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Volume group "/dev/vg00" has been successfully extended.
Unable to query the I/O interface: I/O tree node does not exist.
Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg00 has been saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf

# ioscan -fnk |grep disk
disk 0 0/0/2/0.0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TEAC DV-28E-N
disk 2 0/1/1/0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GMAX3073NC

The device (c2t0d0) I am looking for is missing...
disk 1 0/1/1/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GMAX3073NC

Any idea what could be wrong?

Best regards

what is it showing for vgdisplay -v vg00

is device driver showing for the new device which you added recently? check with ioscan -fnC disk command.

Could you post the output of the following:

# ioscan -f /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
# lssf /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
# lvlnboot -v

Are you trying to create vg00 for the first time or are you modifying it ex. replacing a small disk with a big one? Could you specify what you are doing on vg00.

~cheers

IT_2007 — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 12:50:22 GMT

Do you see any errors in syslog. Please check.

Try to reduce /dev/dsk/c2t0d0 from vg00 and reinitialize it.

vgreduce /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
pvcreate -fB /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0

Hi

For the first time I'am trying to configure a MirrorDisk/UX setup. Mirroring all logical volumes at vg00. It's all working find for two disks. I have tested to removed one disk at the time and both are booting fine from each of them. Everything ok.

When I want to replace one of the disks with a new one, I start getting these problems...

It's 11.23 and you are doing pvcreate on /dev/dsk/cxtxdx instead of /dev/dsk/cxtxdxs2. There is completely new procedure for preparing boot disk on 11.23 itanium.

Re: I/O tree node does not exist

Bjørn Kristian Tørseth — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 06:03:15 GMT

YES!

vgreduce seems to fix the problem.
Mirroring working fine and I am able to boot from the disk also :-)

Thank you both for helping me!

Best regards
Hans Ove

Hi RAC

Do you have a link to a document, where the new procedure for the 11.23 itanium could be found?

Best regards
