We've recently replaced a failed disk from one of our VGs which has the ff. disk assignments:
Failed disk is c6t0d0
------------------------------------
--- Physical volume groups ---
PVG Name PVG_primary
PV Name /dev/dsk/c4t8d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c4t9d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c4t10d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c4t11d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c4t12d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c4t13d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c4t14d0
PVG Name PVG_mirror
PV Name /dev/dsk/c6t0d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c6t1d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c6t2d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c6t3d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c6t4d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c6t5d0
PV Name /dev/dsk/c6t6d0
--------------------------------------------
The PV's status is 'unavailable' in the vgdisplay output.
We are following instructions from the "When_Good_Disks_Go_Bad.pdf" document and the next step is to use: vgcfgrestore -n
But when we execute this, we get the ff. error messages:
----------------------------------------------
Size of Physical Volume "/dev/rdsk/c6t0d0" is smaller than the corresponding PV size in configuration backup file saved by "vgcfgbackup" command. Cannot restore.
----------------------------------------------
I know for a fact that we do have the same disk size and all... But we can't get past this issue. Would like to seek help with this one.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: vgcfgrestore - unable to restore config bec. of PV size???
Since you are using PVG you have to have a disk with same or big size,
Since there are so many disk in PVG its better not to touch the config and get a disk with bigger size.

"...Size of Physical Volume "/dev/rdsk/c6t0d0" is smaller than the corresponding PV size in configuration backup file saved by "vgcfgbackup" command. Cannot restore..."
Please perform a 'diskinfo' on all your disks, obtain the product numbers for all and compare them with the old c6t0d0 product number.

It would work, extend it with -g option is PVG.
Or enter the disk name later in /etc/lvmpvg file

If you have got the bigger disk now, please use vgcfgrestore to restore all the datas.
