Disk2 with 0 MB (HP-UX 11.11)

[Akif_1]

Hi All,

My HP-UX 11.11 has TWO disk in which one is configured as VG00.

But second disk c3t6d0 although available with ioscan command , But its size is 0MB check enclosed .bmp file.

I just selected it as USED one from UNUSED. But unable to get 73GB space in second disk.


below ioscan output:

looks like someone has marked the disk as used (who knows what for?) If you are *sure* its not being used, just highlight the disk in SAM and then go to Actions->Unmount - that should clear the "xyz" status in the "Use" column.

But I would be completely sure its not in use before doing this...

Just now finished fresh HP-UX installation successfully, But his disk give me a problem with 0 MB. and there is no /unmount option in SAM-ACTIONS ...

Iam only worried about how to get full 73GB which is presently not avaialbe with DISK 2 ( present MB 0) .


Need a valuable input to clear this issue ......

May be H/W problem with disk. May be physical damage / faulty.

[Akif_1]

Hi Sudhakar,


There is no AMBER LED , It means no question of hard ware failure / fault.

[Duncan Edmonstone]

I would not assume you don't have a hardware problem just beacuse there's no amber LED on the drive... First question is, can you read the drive without error?

dd if=/dev/rdsk/c3t5d0 of=/dev/null bs=1024

That will take a good while to complete...
(maybe several hours)

if that doesn't run to completion without error, you probably have a hardware problem...
