error on lvcreate after the boot-disk is damaged and replaced

[erich hummel_1]

hi all,

i have replaced my boot-disk (c1t0d0) before he is damaged and i forgot to move a part of a LV to another disk.
If i create a new LV then the error appears: "Couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c1t0d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group.

How can i remove the residuary entrys for the old boot-disk ?

check which LV shows stale extents and remove the mirror for it. You will have to use -k for it.

lvdisplay -vk /dev/vgxx/lvolx - stale lvol
note down PV key.

lvreduce -m 0 -k /dev/vgxx/lvolx, once this is done, do vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vgxx /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
vgactivate -a y vgxx
vgsync

This should do it. Check by booting through this disk.

This mean, that /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 is not a part of vg00.
Use: #vgredice -f vg00 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0
And try to re-create again it.

i do follow:

lvreduce -m 0 -k /dev/vg00/lvol9
lvreduce: "MirrorCopies" parameter "0" is not smaller than existing number "0";
therefore no mirrors are removed.

vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0
vgcfgrestore: Could not open Physical Volume "/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0".

Info: i cant see the disk c1t0d0 at the command "ioscan"

Post following.

lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol9
vgdisplay vg00

Is disk as CLAIMED in ioscan??

i cant see the disk in ioscan because the "old" disk is damaged.

eric,

Is this happend after you did a pvmove from the old boot disk to the other boot disk c1t2d0 and after that replace the boot disk.

After you replaced the disk did you do a insf -e to make a device file for the new disk and then a vgsync vg00.

grtz. Mark

i had found a solution:

- install damaged harddisk
- vgreduce /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0
- vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
- vgdisplay (c1t0d0 not on display)
- uncase damaged harddisk
- new vol can now be created

Thanks for your help
