vgchange error

[Sheriff Andy]

This disk "/dev/dsk/c9t0d0", is it a new disk, or is there any data on it?

I once created a new disk from our EVA and had a similar issue where I couldn't vgimport it in. I ended up recreating the disk and importing it in again with no problems.

Hi,

Can you check the output of

diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c9t0d0

Hi,

until you do vgchange -a y /dev/vg01, vgdisplay won't work? Are you sure that you are looking to the correct vgs.

Can you post diskinfo, ioscan, vgchange, pvdisplay & vgdisplay as attachment.

OK, there is definitely a problem with the disk "/dev/dsk/c9t0d0"

I cannot find any reference to it anywhere, either in ioscan or diskinfo, etc.

Well, the device file in /dev/rdsk/ does exist however.

Correction -

ioscan -funC disk does NOT show it

ioscan -fnC disk shows it

A device file problem?

Hi etc,

All you have is files in /dev/dsk but not in /dev/rdsk.

Now rmsf maynot work in this, all you do is either move /dev/dsk or remove all by rm /dev/dsk.

Now try ioscan -fCdisk & insf -e

Your problem will be solved.

All the best
