vgcfgbackup: IO error on Physical Volume device /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0: I/O error

[gobi23]

Hi Guys, need your help.  Our HPUX servers we get I/O errors when we try to perform system volume group backup (vg00):

vgcfgbackup -f /vgbup/vg00_120308.backup vg00
vgcfgbackup: IO error on Physical Volume device /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0: I/O error

thus this mean possible failed hdd?

Hi,

Check hard disk status by using command:

diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0

Hi,

Your disk is fine.

send bdf , ioscan -fnC disk & uname -a O/P.

Try once more command :

vgcfgbackup -f /dev/vg00.backup  vg00
