Claimed disk but cannot be quiried

[otukile]

W have 2 lun disks on an FC60 which form a volume group on a 11.0 server. On reboot, it comes up with message that it cannot quiry the disks. Running ioscan shows the disks as claimed. Other disks (luns ) of the same nature have activated without a problem. Any clues as to what we could be doing wrong.

give me ioscan -nf
and
vgdisplay - v

HI,
If the LVM info on the Disk is Lost you may need to use vgcfgrestore.
See man vgcfgrestore.
Hope that helps.
Regards,

ps. send the output of "ioscan -fnC disk"

The disk/LUN may be defective. It will still show up in an ioscan, however, you cannot query it.

Try to do a "diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cXtXDX" on the drive/LUN. If it cannot be displayed, you have a hardware problem.

things to try / check :)

- diskinfo to raw device
- lssf on /dev/*dsk/device
- dd /dev/rdsk/device /dev/null count=100 bs=1m
scsictl -a /dev/rdsk/device

where does it break?

- ioscan -fnd (is the sdisk driver bound to it?)

Unfortunately I don't have an FC60 myself at hand, but were are some utilities with every HP array I came to see to query disk and enclosure states, so I hope this also accounts for the FC60.

From the docs I just found, it even should log to stm, check mstm -> run -> utility -> logtool for fc60 errors.

Good luck,
florian
