advfs salvage?

Hi,

/sbin/advfs/advscan /dev/disk/dsk1c

Scanning devices /dev/disk/rdsk1c
Can't open device /dev/disk/rdsk1ca
#

I also tried /dev/rdisk/rdsk1c but to no avail. The message is the same.

No we no longer have a service contract with HP. Too expensive for a small lab and I had been planning to replace our last Alpha Server ES40 with a different server. Bad to see Murphy's law in operation.

I doubt they'd be able to help much anyway, given that the storage is on a non-HP array... Did you ask JetStor ?

Cheers,

Rob

Hi,

Yes I did ask ACNC Support (JetStor III support staff) and they said that they have no (no longer) any clue about ADVFS. However, they recommended that I check the SCSI cable connection(s) or switch the host adapter. I did check the cable and it seems okay but I have not yet tried to switch the host adapter.

Use the command as '/sbin/advfs/advscan /dev/disk/dsk1' (without the 'c' character)

/sbin/advfs/advscan /dev/disk/dsk1

The result is:


Scanning devices /dev/rdisk/dsk1

Sorry for the glitch with the 'c'
