boot disk failed

[SAM_24]

Hi,

On my server boot disk corrupted. Now the system is booted off from the mirror and primary boot path is changed to it.

Now I want to keep the corrupted boot disk as mirror ( alt path ) and I am trying to do pvcreate & mirror it. I can't do vgreduce for that disk.It says some of the physical extents are in use. When I do pvdisplay < corru. disk> it shows some of the volume names.

How to destroy and use it as mirror?

Thanks.

Hi
just an idea: try to recover the whole corrupted disk from an ignite recovery tape (if the system is in time not productive and can be shut down again).

Dirk

Hi Raj,

Try to get your volume out of the lvm configuration using the following commands :

For each lvol of vg00 :
#lvdisplay -kv /dev/vg00/lvolx

so you can find the pv key of the missing pv and then :
#lvreduce -m 0 -k /dev/vg00/lvolx

Then the vgreduce should work propelly (using -f if necessary)
