lsm remirror fails
I have replaced a disk, that was failing and now I discovered that the remirror fails because of a read error on the now single disk. If I am lucky, no file is affected, but I have no clue how to get the mirror running again.
please help,
thanks,
Michael

Re: lsm remirror fails
I tried to eliminate the offending block with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/... count=1
I hope, that procedure did not damage the file system. At least the rebuild worked. :-)

Re: lsm remirror fails
the forum does not quarantee a response time, so customer depend on a support contract for that if he depend on a running machine.
Btw. it is very hard giving some hints without knowing anything about used commands, volprint, devices, errormessages etc. - guessing is not an escalation path nor a valid troubleshooting!

Re: lsm remirror fails
what you say is only partly true. If you read carefully and are not dependant on the output of standard unix commands, you could have understood my problem. ;-)
One question I have still. I used
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/rdisk/dsk6c oseek=xxxxxx count=1
to zero out the block, that was preventing lsm to rebuild the mirror.
If I assume, that the block was not used, did I do any damage to the advfs?
Is there another command besides verify that can check fully the consistency of a domain?
thanks for any comment!
Michael

Re: lsm remirror fails
there are so many command and ways to manage lsm - so how can I guess what command and what errormessage you are retrieving? Depending on the error message and command you must alter the configuration/command.
The advfs consistency depend on the function of the block, if it is part of a metadata structure advfs inconsistency occured, if part of filedata only a file will be damaged (so advfs structure is ok). This question is very tricky and can be answered by conclusions ;-)
Depending on the used advfs version there are different tools... why not using "apropos advfs" to get a list of commands. Depending of metadata/data corruption choose the right command to repair/check the domain.
Btw. another approach is to analyze the binary.errlog and check if a bad block replacement was made if so data is mostly recovered....

Re: lsm remirror fails
This problem looks like a hardware error. Ralf is right to say that if you have clear away the metadata block it will cause advfs inconsistency but if you have cleared a block which was used by any file, you wont come to know until system reads that file again. In a mirror configuration it is also possible that this particular block can be read from another disk. It may create problem when other disk fails and you start mirroring this disk (as sourse disk).
I also support Ralf that binary.errlog will be more accurate to say whether any BBR was done or not. By right BBR is a correct ways to clear this type of error, which is handled by the system and hardware.
Enjoy.

Re: lsm remirror fails
There is a way to avoide read failure on healthy plex:
- Remove failed plex from volume (volume1)
- After replacement, create second volume (volume2)
Now, you`ll have two volumes.
- Execute 'rmvol /dev/vol/somedg/volume1 some_domain'
Here, 'rmvol' will kill volume1 and will copy data from volume1 to volume2.
This operation will be succesful, cause it`ll use non-block type of copying.
Now, you can create mirror on volume2 and rename volume2 to volume1 if you like old name.
Best regards,
Dmitry.
