Re: root disk problem

Why opening a new thread and not continue the other???

However, looks like the disk was "absent" during boot; just try to do

# vgchange -a y vg00

and check with

# vgdisplay -v vg00

again.

If not successful, the disk may be bad and needs replacement.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: root disk problem

Hello ,
It is likely that the missing disk is faulty. Please have a read of this document

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1236/When_Good_Disks_Go_Bad_WP.pdf

it describes the procedures for replacing lvm disks

I hope this is of some use

Hello,

Please check following log files.

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log &
/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log

Also you can check cstm log.

# cstm
cstm>map
cstm>sel dev
cstm>info
cstm>il

Then check in Error Logs section are there any Read Errors/Write Errors ...

Re: root disk problem

Hi,

Try

diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0

dd if=/dev/dsk/c2t0d0 of=/dev/null bs=1024
ctrl+c

if diskinfo and dd works fine.


#lvdisplay -v -k /dev/vg00/lvol1

here you can get key for disk c2t0d0
lvreduce -k -m 0 /dev/vg00/lvol1 key

do same for all lv.

vgreduce -f vg00

take backup of /etc/lvmtab
rm /etc/lvmtab
vgscan -v

pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0

vgextend vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0

lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0

do for all lvs.

Re: root disk problem

Hi,
Your current primary boot disk is c2t0d0. (which is now showing down/error).
Alternate boot disk path configured is 0/0/2/0.3.0 (which is not now in your ioscan -fn o/p)
The path of the root disk which is running is 0/1/1/1.2.0.(/dev/dsk/c3t2d0)
Check if it is a bootable disk.(because it is not showing in your lvlnboot -v o/p).
#lifls -l /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0
#lifcp /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0:AUTO -
If it is not, configure it as bootable disk,do following (LIF/BDRA configuration-steps till lvlnboot -v)
# mkboot -l /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0
# mkboot -a 'hpux -lq' /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0
# lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
# lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
# lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
# lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
# lvlnboot -v

#setboot -b 0/1/1/1.2.0
Also keep backup of lvmtab and vg00.conf
#cp /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.bak
#cp /etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf /etc/vg00.conf.bak
After this, replace the bad disk and do,
# vgcfgrestore -n vg00 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
# vgchange -a y vg00
Continue the LIF/BDRA configuration for the new disk.
If all previous steps were working fine,do
#vgsync vg00
