disk failure

[Mike Lynch_4]

Hi All

It looks like I need a new disk but I thought I'd make sure. (This disk was only installed last week so furtunately no data has been lost)

# fsck -F vxfs -o full,nolog /dev/vg03/lvol3
vxfs fsck: file system had I/O error(s) on meta-data.
pass0 - checking structural files
pass1 - checking inode sanity and blocks
vxfs fsck: fsck read failure bno = 1616, off = 0, len = 8192
file system check failure, aborting ...

This lvol is sitting on c4t8d0

dd also reports an error
# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c4t8d0 of=/dev/null bs=64k
dd read error: I/O error
164442+0 records in
164442+0 records out


Is there any way to repair this or should I just get a new disk ?

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

The dd failure tells me it's time for a new disk. There's no way to fix it that I know of.

May be you can try mediainit on disk.
But it is better to replace it.

Try diskinfo as well...

If it fails on that then it will confirm it is dead, dead, dead.

pvdisplay, as well if it is in a VG/LVOL...
