I am new to XP 12000 disk array.
I came to my company and they have already HP 9000/800 servers connected to XP12000
I want now to extend some volume groups.
I ran #ioscan -fnC disk
disk 66 0/5/1/0.1.13.0.0.2.2 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP OPEN-V
/dev/dsk/c10t2d2 /dev/rdsk/c10t2d2
target 27 0/5/1/0.1.13.0.0.3 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE
disk 15 0/5/1/0.1.13.0.0.3.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP DISK-SUBSYSTEM
/dev/dsk/c10t3d0 /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0
two types of disks: OPEN-V and DISK-SUBSYSTEM
#diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0
SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c10t3d0:
vendor: HP
product id: DISK-SUBSYSTEM
type: direct access
size: 0 Kbytes
bytes per sector: 0
some of the OPEN-V disks belog to some volume groups and some others are not
I tired to add DISK-SUBSYSTEM and OPEV-V disks that are not belongs to any vg, but errors appear
How can solve this matter?

What is what you try to execute?
Writes: what you try to do and the error that it gives you.

Re: Extending VG from XP12000
This is just like a "place holder".
Try to run "xpinfo" to get informations about the disk devices.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Extending VG from XP12000
I just want to extend some volume groups and I see some disks from XP12000 that I am not familiar with and may need to be configured. that is the whole point.
I can't find xpinfo in our servers. where do I find it?
Thanks

SolutionFor all XP related things I would strongly recommend to ask the person who set up the array on your site. The whole thing is too complicated to explain it an all side effects in a small post.
Do you have a HP contact for software support?
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Extending VG from XP12000
Your OPEN-V devices are real disk devices (I would like to say you can use them to store your data).
You have to be 100 percent sure to use the right device, because you can easily destroy data that exists on the devices.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
