Re: Hard Disk failed data Recover

Sounds like a dead disk, see

No backup?

This is a PEBKAC situation, sorry.

Hope this helps!

Re: Hard Disk failed data Recover

hmmm well you really in bad situation, when u say sensitive data you should have regular backup.

Well what does
#vgdisplay -v vg01

what does ioscan -fnC disk says does the disk appears in CLAIMED or NO_HW state.

Well very less chances from what you described
you may try to reinsert the disk or reboot the servers as last option.

Re: Hard Disk failed data Recover

Hi Tareq,

As Kapil said , did you run vgdisplay command ?

can you post the output of below commands ?

#strings /etc/lvmtab*

#vgdisplay -v

check dmesg for any vg/LVM related error
#dmesg

regards!

Re: Hard Disk failed data Recover

>>when i try to make new vg in the drive its failed

what was the error message??

what is the o/s version ? is it 11.31 ? if so you may need to check /etc/lvmtab_p also .

have you tried recreating lvmtab ?if not try the below steps

# mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab_backup
#vgscan

# vgdisplay
#strings /etc/lvmtab* and post the outputs ..
