Hi!

The following message appears in my SYSLOG.LOG file every day, anyone know, what that means??

Jun 13 01:57:52 eessappd vmunix: LVM: PV 0 has been returned to vg[2].^M

Thanks

You probably have a corresponding POWERFAIL message for PV0 in vg[2] as well? What it looks like is that you have either a disk starting to go bad or you have a probably with the timeout value on the disk that is causing it to not respond in a timely manner, thus you are receiving those messages.

If you have diagnostics installed, use stm to check for errors on the disk.

If you're not seeing any other SCSI error messages that indicates a potential disk problem then this is most likely due to the low timeout value of the disk/disks in vg02. This timeout can be increase by running ..
# pvchange -t 180 /dev/dsk/
ie to 180secs.
Do a "man pvchange" for more details.

Hi,

you probably have a defective disk on your system. The disk is timing out and you can increase the timeout if you want. If this is aa disk array, you can use the arraymanager utilities to see if there is a disk problem with one of the LUN's,

Try this link for more help.

The best way to say thanks is to assign points. :-) It also lets everyone know what advise was useful.

Hi,

This error may also come if you have alternate path defined for the harddiks ( like if you are using a disk array). It could be a problem with the disk also or some loose connection.
