San XP disk (100GB) unable to recognize in server but i can able to see through xpinfo. I have also created a pair to remote site(for metro cluster configuration) . It is not able to recognize from both the controllers.


vxdisk scandisks
vxdisk list |grep c3t4d7
vxdisk list |grep c5t4d7
root>ls -ld /dev/rdsk/c3t4d7
crw-r----- 1 bin sys 188 0x034700 Oct 5 11:41 /dev/rdsk/c3t4d7
(can see device file)

followed below commands too.
vxdctl enable
vxconfigd -k -m enable.
vxdisk scandisk

root>xpinfo -i |grep 05:48
/dev/rdsk/c3t4d7 90 04 27 CL6E 05:48 OPEN-V*4 00022066
/dev/rdsk/c5t4d7 ae 04 27 CL5E 05:48 OPEN-V*4 00022066

Pair has been created suucessfully to remote site.. i have to create mount point but cannot move forward. Wondering why server is behaving like this..

What does ioscan and diskinfo show for these disk devices?

[Srimalik]

did you check whether IOs are possible to/from disk?

what happens when you try initializing the disk for vxvm?

[Kapil Jha]

did u do insf -e?
can u see the device files...in server and if yes
diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cxdxtx is working.

ur commands seems to be fine.
vxdctl enable and then
vxdisk list

should be enough,

Can you see disk in vxdisk list

try
mv /etc/vx/disk.info /etc/vx/disk.info.old
vxconfigd -k -m enable
ioscan -fnC disk
vxdisk list


what VxVM version you are using.
