Replacement disk

Simon Wickham_6 — Wed, 14 Dec 2005 10:38:14 GMT

Hi,

I have a disk gone down which I have replaced and now can see is unused. This disk is under vg02 how to i activate the new disk.

1. vgchange -a y /dev/vg02
vgchange: Warning: Couldn't attach to the volume group physical volume "/dev/dsk/c0t10d0":
Cross-device link
vgchange: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c0t10d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
vgchange: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes.
vgchange: Couldn't activate volume group "/dev/vg02":
Quorum not present, or some physical volume(s) are missing.
2. vgscan -av

Regards,
Simon

Hi Simon,

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1236/When_Good_Disks_Go_Bad.pdf

Is this disk mirrored ?

# vgcfgrestore -n vg02 /dev/dsk/c0t10d0

# vgchange -a y vg02

# vgsync vg02
or recreate your lvol's with a newfs and restore from backup.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Hi Robert-Jan,

The only way around this was with recreating the lvol's then restoring.
