tortsen let me try again as in the pdf.

[R.O.]

The second disk appears as "unavailable". You might activate it with "pvchange -a y /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2"

hi,

your OS is HP-UX 11.31, i would recomend use only one type of disk, legasy or agile not both.

mikap

[fizan]

oh is it. so i should use legacy naming..

can you say me how to find out the legacy naming?

[Torsten.]

First of all I would suggest to check the disk with

# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2 of=/dev/null bs=1024

then remove this disk from vg00 and start over according to the PDF.

[Michal Kapalka (mikap) · Accepted solution]

hi fizan,

its not so mather if you use legasy or agile, but for the configuration and clear view it is better.

mikap

[Torsten.]

"/dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2" is the legacy device file, but you should use the NEW, e.g. /dev/disk/disk5.

Find out with

# ioscan -m dsf
