Re: Issues with Make_tape_recovery & LIF

I never exchanged a parallel scsi disk in a 11.31 server yet, only sas disks.

 

WIth sas disks the system creates a new WWID, so you need to allow the system to access the disk, otherwise it appears as NO_HW.

 

I assume the same with your disk.

 

# scsimgr replace_wwid тАУD /dev/rdisk/disk100

 

will solve this (or a reboot).

 

 

 

From

When Good Disks Go Bad: Dealing with Disk Failures
Under LVM - page 36

 

4. Notify the mass storage subsystem that the disk has been replaced.
If the system was not rebooted to replace the failed disk, then run scsimgrbefore using the
new disk as a replacement for the old disk. For example:
# scsimgr replace_wwid тАУD /dev/rdisk/disk14
This command allows the storage subsystem to replace the old diskтАЩs LUN World-Wide-Identifier (WWID) with the new diskтАЩs LUN WWID. The storage subsystem creates a new
LUN instance and new device special files for the replacement disk.

 

...

 

6. Assign the old instance number to the replacement disk.
For example:
# io_redirect_dsf -d /dev/disk/disk14 -n /dev/disk/disk28
This assigns the old LUN instance number (14) to the replacement disk. In addition, the device
special files for the new disk are renamed to be consistent with the old LUN instance number.


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Issues with Make_tape_recovery & LIF

Hi Torsten

 

Hope you had a great weekend.

 

We replaced the disk and managed to get it online with a system restart.  By I am still experiencing LIF warnings in the make recovery output.

 

See attached.

 

Also, disk100 no longer exists,but was replaced by disk149 at path c0t6d0 after the reboot.

Torsten.

Re: Issues with Make_tape_recovery & LIF

disk100 is still part of vg00.

 

check

 

# strings /etc/lvmtab_p

 

# vgdisplay -v vg00


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

As requested.  I can see the bootconf doesn't reflect the correct devices.

Do you mean in the bootconf file I need to replace disk100 by disk149.
