 two vdisk one is 200 gb and another is 230 gb this vdisk in PRESENTED connected on hp ux server(UATDATA1)

This disks shown on hp ux like
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0 and
/dev/dsk/c2d1d3
so i created the lvm via SMH like
/dev/x01/vgx01 mounted on /x01  and

Re: LVM disk not shown

Running 11.31?

If you delete a LUN and present another new LUN with same LUN number the server prevents access for security reasons, unless you use scsimgr with replace_wwid option (see scsimgr white paper) or a reboot of the server.

Hope this helps!

Re: LVM disk not shown

You can delete the old disk devices / hardware address to clear it from ioscan output. 

 

Run the below command to rescan and make the new disk visible.

 

# ioscan -fnNC disk 

# insf -e (reinstall missing / new device files)

# ioscan -m dsf -> check if the new luns are seen. it might not be have the same device name as the older one.

Re: LVM disk not shown

I assume the new LUN has the same device files like the old LUN had - did you remove everything from the old LUN before removing?

(VG definitions, etc)

Hope this helps!
