After an Ignite B.4.1.61 boot my lvm config is not correct

Server K580 runnning HPUX 11.0 using Ignite B.1.4.61. All VG's are mirrored. After booting from ignite tape the following errors appear in all other volume groups and they appear to be uncorrectable. Is this a known bug in Ignite 4.1.61

Re: After an Ignite B.4.1.61 boot my lvm config is not correct

The reason you may have had to do an ignite recovery is because a disk failed.

Prior to doing an Ignite recovery if possible its always a good idea to check your disks.

diskinfo

dmesg

cstm mstm xstm look for and arrange replacement of any disks that have gone south.

Replace the disk and recovery your system again.

If this isn't a recovery the bad news here is you can't run a good ignite backup without all disks being present and accounted for. Follow the above steps, id and replace the bad disk and the make_tape_recovery will start to work.

Ignite's pickiness may have just done you a HUGE favor.

Re: After an Ignite B.4.1.61 boot my lvm config is not correct

The reason for creating the reovery tape is the first place was to provide a clean recover point in case I had to use it, which I have. I appreciate that Ignite will not reover the mirrors and that I have to recover these manually, however the recovery tape has created the situation where I get these lvm errors and therefore cannot reduce the VG's to then create the mirror sets.

More help please
