disk errors in syslog.

[Chris Fadrowski]

I am getting the following errors in syslog. All my disks are running fine. Can anyone tell me what may be going on? I am getting these on all attached disks that are on a Clarion.

Run the suggested "resdata" command and attach the output here .. thanks ..

Run the the command it tells you to run and post the output.

This can happen when a disk on a disk array is taken away at the array and assigned to another server. There's sometimes a little leftover configuration information that can make EMS a little unhappy.

First question, does that disk actually exist and is it supposed to exist.

If its just a ghost the following plan might help.

mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old
vgscan -a

Better yet, since I'm suddenly thinking answer one won't help(or hurt), I'm thinking...

rmsf the device file of the ghostly disk from /dev/dsk

See if it comes back after boot.

If it does, talk to your SAN/Disk array administrator.

this ghost disk thing is interesting, i did move all of these disks from an N class to a v class server, however, they were formatted from what i understand.

I would get the latest patches and I beleive their is a much later disk firmware version then HP03

This is EMC Clariion disk array operating in private loop. This event means that this disk array can not handle EMS polling request.
Recommendations: full backup, installation of latest FC driver, Diags, GR and HWE patch bundles from CDs of same release, but not earlier than Sep 2002
