FIber Channel Disk Replaced

I had a Fiber Channel disk replaced in a DS2405 and after executing the fcmsutil replace_disk command I am getting the following error messages when executing the vgdisplay -v vg02 command.
vgdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c7t2d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
vgdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c8t2d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
vgdisplay: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes.

If you can suggest what I need to do to resolve this I would appreciate it.

Re: FIber Channel Disk Replaced

It would seem the replacement disk was not presented as the sam LUN as the old one. Perhaps a mistake was made by the SAN administrator.

The SAN admin should make sure the World Wide Name on the LUN is correct.

ioscan -fnC disk

Does the new disk show up?

It probably does under a new and different hardware path.

I would first work on any possible presentation problems at the SAN.

If that fails you can follow this procedure:

cd /etc
mv lvmtab lvmtab.saved

vgscan -a

vgreduce -f /dev/vg02 /dev/dsk/c7t2d0
vgreduce -f /dev/vg02 /dev/dsk/c8t2d0

vgextend /dev/vg02 /path of new disk

This procedure may need to be modified based on what the hardware path of the new disk is and other factors you've not presented.

Re: FIber Channel Disk Replaced

After doing a fcmsutil /dev/td(?) replace_dsk and its worldwide name,you need to do a
vgcfgrestore -n /dev/(volume group name) /dev/rdsk/c8t2d0

vgchange -a y /dev/(volume group name) and vgsync if this is a mirrored disk.
