autopath errors

[S.S.]

Hi Kapil,

This device file is not available.

Even though also if i run the vgscan command does it cause any problem?


Thanks & Regards

Which is this device its not root device right, if its not available you may have to fix it so that server can see this device.

Well even if its not there vgscan sould not complaint and create lvmtab file again.

You can safely run it, this would not trouble it.

Hi,

I ran the vgscan -v and started the ignite backup but no luck.

Anyhow i got a downtime to restart the server after 2 hours.
Can anyone suggest me, still in the /etc/lvmtab file the entries:
/dev/Test_vgworking
K]1?
/dev/dsk/c10t1d5
/dev/dsk/c14t1d0
/dev/dsk/c10t1d0
are available. After reboot these entries will clearup because due to this the ignite backup has not done as these device files are no more but the entries are there in /etc/lvmtab file.

I have tried to export the vg related to this device files but unable to do and received the warning message as "Device is busy"

Thanks!

# vgexport -f /dev/Test_vgworking
# cp -p /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.org -> backup
# mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.bkp.Mar012010 -> rename /etc/lvmtab
# /usr/sbin/vgscan -v

HTH,

Thank you Kapil and Johnson.

As Johnson, said yesterday i have rebooted the server and all the failed device files in autopath got cleared and this time i successfully exported the vg.

Specially Thanks to you guys as i sorted many of my problems with the help of you.
