Hello David.

You must runn the steps provided on the pdf document, at
"Confirming Disk Failure" - page 12.

What about syslog? Any entries in the log about this disk?

Best regards,
Horia.

How about dd (read test)? And do you have any messages logged in syslog (cat /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log)?

Hi,

As i said in earlier post did you conform disk status using dd and diskinfo.

if both output ok.

Then you can very will go head with my earlier steps.

This looks like vgid detais of vg00 is got removed from disk .

[DAVID99_1]

#diskinfo
#dd-----

>>>the o/p of DD is
#dd if=/dev/dsk/c2t0d0 of=/dev/null bs=1024
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0: I/O error
dd:cannot open /dev/dsk/c2t0d0

Try with the raw device,(rdsk),

#dd if=/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0 of=/dev/null bs=1024 count=100
