This disk is under pvg for vg00 .
Could some one help me to find out if this disk is really faulty or anything need to do to resolve this issue

Is thid disk mirror of root disk?

Rgds...

[joseph51]

Yes , This is mirrored disk . Please find the attachment

[joseph51]

AT present only one lvol ( swaplv) is using this disk

/dev/rdisk/disk2 and /dev/rdisk/disk3 are mirrored

The disk /dev/disk/disk26 has been added to vg00 for additional space which now using by lvswap

[Anoop Sivan]

disk 26 need to replace

#pvchange -a n /dev/disk/disk26
replace the disk

#vgcfgrestore -n vg00 /dev/rdsk/ --> Restore the vg configuration

#vgchange -a y vg00 -->resync mirrors

#lvlnboot -R vg00 -->update BDRA

#lvlnboot -R vg00 -->check the boot configuration.

Check if all the mirrors are in sync.
# vgdisplay -v vg00 |egrep -i "lv name|lv status"

[Saravana Kuppusamy]

have you re seated the disk and checked?I think disk needs replacement as ioscan clearly reports no_hw and dd fails as well.

[INH]

disk /dev/disk/disk26 requires replacement

# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/Lagacy_path ( it will come out with file already exists in /etc/lvmtab_p )

#pvchange -a n /dev/disk/disk26
replace the disk

#vgcfgrestore -n vg00 /dev/rdsk/ --> Restore the vg configuration

#vgchange -a y /dev/vg00 -->resync mirrors

Check if the synch is started else run

#vgsync

#lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol* | grep stale |wc -l .....................output of this command should 0 otherwise wait for some

[Torsten.]

The status

PV Name /dev/disk/disk26
PV Status unavailable

and the NO_HW status indicates a dead disk that needs replacement.

Thanks for all for your valuable response . I have replaced the disk and performed vgcfgrestore .
Now everything is fine
thanks
