Failed Mirror in 11.11
Hello,
I have a server which has has it's mirror disk fail, the disk has now been replaced but I'm still having issues getting the mirroring set back up. Can someone let me know the process for this task please?
lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
lvreduce: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t0d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
lvreduce: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes.
lvreduce: Physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t0d0" does not belong
to volume group "/dev/vg00".
Logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol1" is not reduced.

milcon01:/#
milcon01:/# pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
pvcreate: The physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t0d0" is already recorded in the "/etc/lvmtab" file.

Re: Failed Mirror in 11.11
If you can find the "When Good Disks Go Bad" whitepaper, that is an immense help when replacing a disk.
In your situation, the steps I would do are:
--Verify the disk is CLAIMED in 'ioscan -fnC disk'
# vgcfgrestore -n vg00 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
# vgchange -a y vg00
# vgdisplay -v vg00
(check and make sure /dev/dsk/c2t0d0 shows as 'available' in the output)
# mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
# mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
# vgsync vg00
The vgsync will resync the mirrors between your 2 disks.

Re: Failed Mirror in 11.11
Perform the suggested steps and do
# vgdisplay -v vg00
# lvlnboot -v
and post.
If you have problems to do a "vgcfgrestore", you need to do a "pvchange -a n ..." first.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Failed Mirror in 11.11
Hello,
I'm not sure what happened with this server as I was not the first port of call to fix it as it's in our US data center, but we managed to get it working using the below syntax:-
# vgcfgrestore -n vg00 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
This will restore the LVM headers to the new disk.
Next proceed to re-activate the VG:
# vgchange -a y vg00
You should now see the disk as part of the VG again.
Assuming this is a mirrored boot disk then proceed with the mkboot commands:
# mkboot -l /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
# mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
Reset the root/boot/dump/swap assignments:
# lvlnboot -R
# lvlnboot -v (view to confirm)
Start the sync of any mirrored logical volumes:
# vgsync /dev/vg00
Thanks to all who responded :-)
cheers
