basic mirror replacement in VxVM

[Sébastien Peslin]

Hi,

I am trying to test the Veritas disk mirroring on a system (HPUX11i, Vx3.5).
I have got 2 set of 8 disks : c4txd0 mirrored by c5txd0.
I removed c5t2d0 and got it failed under vxdisk list. I reinserted it but I don't find how to restore correct usage.
Under vxdiskadm,
4. Replace disk seems to refuse to work if source and target disk are the same
I tried 3. Remove disk for replacement and 3. Remove disk but I am still unable to perform 4 and restore the normal vxdisk list output.
I also tried 1. Initialize but it seems to consider the disk is still part of the disk group and fails.

I found the solution :
you have to execute the command
# /etc/vx/bin/vxreattach
I guess it launches the disk resync.
Everything is fine under vxdisk list therafter.
