Hi guys,
My two file systems are unmounted now.
and when i tring to mount..
this is the error:

You have a failed disk. These are serious errors and cannot be fixed. fsck does not fix disk hardware failures, it only fixes simple directory and disk map mistakes. You'll have to replace the bad disk.

Dear Bunty,

I feel the filesystem is currupt. Was there any abrupt shutdown ?

Please do
#lvdisplay -v dev/vg73/ORACBPD_data_idx01

and check for any stale extents.

With Regards,

Siva.

Hi,

These are symptoms of a failed disk. You should see some STALE PEs in the vgdisplay -v output for this VG. If this VG is not on locally attached disks and is access through SAN than there is a probably a cable fault.

Shalom,

When fsck has failed, you are done, disk replacement and data restore is your only option.

You may want to see if you can lvremove the logical volume and vgreduce the disk out of the volume group, just to make the rebuild easier, but it probably will not work.

#lvdisplay -v dev/vg73/ORACBPD_data_idx01
all extents are OK.
is there may be some issue og PEs size.
PEs size is 4MB.
and this LV size is 31GB.

Hi,

Have you got some messages in the syslog.log while it got unmounted or in dmesg. I suspect a intermediant link failure. Is it on SAN or local disk?

I think it is the best time to check both your disks in that VG for I/O errors through dd command.

#dd if=/dev/rdsk/cxtydz of=/dev/null bs=2048k

Repeat same for other disk in VG. The disk device file is not visible from the posts. so replace /dev/rdsk/cxtydz with that.

HTH,
Devender

Bunty.. — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 08:36:24 GMT

it is connected to SAN.

#vgdisplay -v /dev/vg73 | more
--- Physical volumes ---
PV Name /dev/dsk/c26t4d1
PV Name /dev/dsk/c29t4d1 Alternate Link
PV Status unavailable
Total PE 9726
Free PE 0
Autoswitch On

PV Name /dev/dsk/c26t4d2
PV Name /dev/dsk/c29t4d2 Alternate Link
PV Status available
Total PE 9726
Free PE 3577
Autoswitch On

how to make it available?

# ioscan -fnC disk | grep c26t4d1
/dev/dsk/c26t4d1 /dev/rdsk/c26t4d1

# ioscan -fnC disk | grep c26t4d1
/dev/dsk/c26t4d1 /dev/rdsk/c26t4d1

# ioscan -fnC disk | grep c26t4d2
/dev/dsk/c26t4d2 /dev/rdsk/c26t4d2

# ioscan -fnC disk | grep c29t4d1
/dev/dsk/c29t4d1 /dev/rdsk/c29t4d1

# ioscan -fnC disk | grep c29t4d2
/dev/dsk/c29t4d2 /dev/rdsk/c29t4d2

should i run this command:
#dd if=/dev/rdsk/c26t4d1 of=/dev/null bs=2048k

will it make PV status abailable

Hi,

Print the whole information related to /dev/dsk/c26t4d1 & /dev/dsk/c29t4d1.

Also post
#diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c26t4d1

&

#diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c26t4d1

Allthough this should not happen as you have alternate path to access the disk unless there is some problem at storage/SAN level.

Was there something done/faced in storage at the same time?

If the output of the diskinfo shows the disk as healthy. You can reactivate VG and then the disk should become available if it is really available.

#vgchange -a y /dev/vg73

Then retry mount and if required fsck.

Allthough there may be some corruption to data in such scenarions and you should be able to find that in fsck errors if any.

HTH,
Devender
