SG disk issue

[Michael J MacDonald]

I have a cluster with 2 l2000 and ds2400 disk, I had a 36gb disk go bad.
I replaced the disk and I now get the following when I do a vgdisplay:

vgdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c4t0d0":

Are there any steps I need to do to get it to see the new disk???

This is what I see with an ioscan:
ioscan -fnC disk

have you done a vgcfgrestore to the disk to replace the LVM information?#
If not, you will get this type of error

[Torsten.]

You just replaced the disk, no additional steps taken?


You need to restore the LVM configuration to the disk.

# vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vgdm01 /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0

activate the VG again from the active node

# vgchange -a e /dev/vgdm01

sync the disks

# vgsync vgdm01

Thanks, The vgsync was the step I did not do.
It is fine now.
