Cur LV is not matching to Open LV

Hello All,

On one our HP-UX server, Cur LV is not matching with Open LV. Its exclusive VG and one of the LV is missing with certain PEs reserved by that LV across single disk we have in this VG.

Please let us know how can we recover this. We do not have any idea about its minor number.

Check the directory

/dev/vg_SPWSOP01_sys

and count/compare the number of device files.

[#3]

Checked that, there are 16 raw & block files.

[#4]

So there is 1 pair missing. Re-create it!

[#5]

And since this is a cluster, check the other nodes too. Transfer (vgexport/import) the configuration if needed.

[#6]

Check the lvols device files in "/dev/vg_SPWSOP01_sys" in the other/others cluster's node. You might have the information for the missing lvol there.

Regards,
