vg00 device in vgdisplay is strange

[vpar]

Lvm is multipath environment and I booted
but device name in vgdisplay show other device name came from another path. Is it normal?

What I want to vgdisplay is c10t0d1 insdead of c3t0d1 because I booted OS from primary path.
(Primary bootpath : 0/0/14/1/0.1.0.0.0.0.1)

Original my problem was to cann't boot from c3t0d1, so I did do changed the other path.

11.23 and vpar environment.

Here output:

Are you sure, you booted using the path 0/0/14/1/0.1.0.0.0.0.1 ?

Below commands will help you to determine your current boot path.

Minor=`echo "bootdev/x"|adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem|awk 'NR == 2 {print $1}'|cut -c 5-10`

DEV=`ls -l /dev/dsk|awk '/'$MINOR'/ {print $10}'`

lssf /dev/dsk/$DEV|awk '{print $15" "$16}'


Secondly, your lvmtab shows you have 4 disk paths in your VG00.

#strings /etc/lvmtab
/dev/vg00
/dev/dsk/c3t0d1s2
/dev/dsk/c5t0d1s2
/dev/dsk/c10t0d1s2
/dev/dsk/c12t0d1s2

But look at your VG display output.

Cur PV 1
Act PV 1

--- Physical volumes ---
PV Name /dev/dsk/c3t0d1s2
PV Name /dev/dsk/c5t0d1s2 Alternate Link

How come your lvmtab is not matching with your VG details ? Have you manually edited your lvmtab ? Have you removed other paths ?

[Shibin_2]

Correction. ( I have used lower character earlier ).

MINOR=`echo "bootdev/x"|adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem|awk 'NR == 2 {print $1}'|cut -c 5-10`

DEV=`ls -l /dev/dsk|awk '/'$MINOR'/ {print $10}'`

lssf /dev/dsk/$DEV|awk '{print $15" "$16}'

[vpar]

I didn't modify lvmtab file.

I think above information is correct.

/dev/vg00
/dev/dsk/c3t0d1s2
/dev/dsk/c5t0d1s2
/dev/dsk/c10t0d1s2
/dev/dsk/c12t0d1s2

Above disks are actually one disk because of multipath.

[Shibin_2]

Yes, it is multi-path. But you have added only one alternate path to your VG. But how come your /etc/lvmtab showing 2 more ? Have you added it manually?
