Disk replacement on HPUX 11iV1

[AVV]

Hi All,

I have a server with two VGs vg00 & vg01. vg01 does have a failing disk (c3t3d0) and needs to be replaced. But two out of 3 file systems in the failing disk are still good and had back up but the other fs lost completely. Now I need to change the disk. What precautions should I take to do before after replacing ? Pulling the failed disk and putting the new one, then vgcfgrestore does work? We have back up and disk is hot swappable.- Thanks

Hi,

First of all carry good backup of disks with you before you try anything.
IF disk is hot swappable then you can try this things.
put in disk.
#ioscan -fnC disk
#insf -e
#vgcfgrestore â n /dev/vgoo /dev/rdsk/c*t*d* ( put the exact address here )
#vgchange â a y /dev/vg01
#vgsync /dev/vg01

#vgchange -a y /dev/vg01
