PVs are not stale!!

[astra]

Hi Kapil,

yes, thats right!! But previously we were using MSA 30 and the same steps were working. Now the customers are reluctant to change any split mirroing steps. Then want to continue on the same line and at the moment its quite difficult to change the steps.

Can we do the steps as mentioned by patrick and use the mirror one for backup? Do you see any future implications?

Thanks again for guiding.

Regards,
Amit

No. Doing the steps I mentioned above would make it VERY difficult to use those disks as a backup.

Hi,

Best method is shutdown the server,remove the secondary mirrored disk.

Keep secondary disk as safer side.

After server rebooting you can reduce vg from secondary pv.
