Creating new mount points

[Randy Durden]

I have created a new volume on a NetApps systems and created the new volume group on my HP 11.11 machine. How do I determine what physical volume to use with the volume group.
There are other volume groups with physical volumes point to the NetApps machine.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Hi Randy,

Try

# ioscan -fnkCdisk

and

# ioscan -fnCdisk

If you have presented a new lun to the system, you should see the new lun in the last command.

I ran

ioscan -fnCdisk

How will I know which one is the new one?

It has come up with quite a few NETAPP LUN entries

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

could you attach the output?

Do you use raw disks in any databases, or are all your disk configured in volume groups?

# vgdisplay -v

Hi Randy,


Also please attach the strings /etc/lvmtab and the ioscan -fnCdisk.

Also you can do the following and attach the same.

#for i in /etc/lvmconf/*.conf
>do
>echo $i;vgcfgrestore -l -f $i
>done



This would show something like this.

# for i in /etc/lvmconf/*.conf
> do
> echo $i;vgcfgrestore -l -f $i
> done
/etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf
Volume Group Configuration information in "/etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf"
VG Name /dev/vg00
---- Physical volumes : 1 ----
/dev/rdisk/disk5_p2 (Bootable)
#


Please attach the O/p, that shall be also helpful.

I'm working on getting the output.

Having a little trouble getting the file off the system.

[Randy Durden]

Sorry, but unable to get you the outputs.

It looks like all are volume group, no raw disk.

[Randy Durden]

Below are a few entries from the ioscan -fnCdisk command.

disk 587 1/0/4/0/0.2.11.0.1.7.1 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE NETAPP LUN
/dev/dsk/c46t7d1 /dev/rdsk/c46t7d1

disk 558 1/0/4/0/0.2.11.0.1.9.1 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE NETAPP LUN
/dev/dsk/c46t9d1 /dev/rdsk/c46t9d1

these are the last 2 entries.

I don't if this helps or not.

I have found the physical volumes. Now when I do a
vgcreate /dev/vg*** /dev/dsk/c##t#d#

I get
IO error on Physical Volume device.

Have you done a 'pvcreate' on the devices?
