what is the status of this vg?

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

IMHO these threads are not related.

The problem is, the VG status is available, but both disks are unavailable, so the LV Status can't be available/syncd.


If the vdisks on the EVA are really re-created, the disks are no longer PVs, so the pvdisplay command will fail.

guys,
please check attached file for pvdisplay -v output.
1,only PV Status is not "well", and other details seemed right. It is beyond my usual understanding about HP_UX; why it could still show LVs details? where is the LVs' or PVs' information stored? and pvdisplay did not fail,right?
2,when vg02 was in activated status, could vdisk at EVA site be re-created without prompt?


regards
Stephen

any mounted file system on it ?

# bdf
# fuser -u /dev/vg02/mylvol1
# fuser -u /dev/vg02/lvol2

According to pvdisplay output , you can try;

# pvchange -a y /dev/disk/disk34
