Changing the nature of a file

[ConnieK]

Ok all: Here is exactly what I did to fix this problem:

1. cmhaltpkg
2. cmviewcl <-- to make sure pkg was down on both nodes.
3. ps -ef | grep ora <--- to make sure Oracle was down
4. vgexport -s -v -p -m /tmp/vg12.map /dev/vg12 <-- on the "bad" node
5. cp the messed up rlvols to /tmp
6. rm rlvols 30, 31, & 39 <-- the messed up ones
7. mknod rlvol30, 31, & 39 c 64 0x0c00xx
8. vgexport vg12
9. mkdir /dev/vg12
10. mknod /dev/vg12/group c 64 0x0c0000
11. vgimport -s -v -m /tmp/vg12.map /dev/vg12
12. chmod 755 /dev/vg12
13. chown oracle:dba /dev/vg12/rlvol*
14. vgcfgbackup /dev/vg12
15. cmrunpkg
16. ps -ef | grep ora
17. cmviewcl
18. strings /etc/lvmtab
19. Call DBA to check.

So far everything looks good, except that I have to restore one archive file.

Just letting everyone know that your help has been a blessing. And I WILL get better with practice and try to get as knowledgable as I can.

Thanks again!
