Disk replacement

[Don Douglas]

I am in the process of replacing some 36G drives with 72G drives but after running ioscan -funC disk, the new drives are showing as 36G drives and not 72G. How can I fix that?

Hi,

Can you post

ioscan -fnC disk and
diskinfo -v /dev/rdisk/cXtXdX

hi
can you use
#insf -eC disk
#ioscan -fnC disk

[Elmar P. Kolkman]

Try running:
# rmsf -H
after removing the old 36G disk.
Then place the 72G.
Run:
# ioscan -fnC disk
(Make sure you don't use the -k option!)
Then:
# insf
It will re-create the device files.

1 thing: are you sure they show up as 36G
or is that just in a VG, in which you are trying to replace physical volumes? Because that only works if the max PE/PV * PE size is 72G or more !
