Ghost Disk

My cur pv and act pv in vgdisplay does not match. i checked in one lvol i have ?. so any new lvol's i extend in that volume group vgcfgbackup is not happening although it extends ok. vgreduce -f does not work successfully. is there any way around lvremoving the lvol which had the ghost disk (? in lvdisplay -v). please advise.

Thanks

Joe

Re: Ghost Disk

Shalom Joe,

The first think I look for is a dead disk that is in /etc/lvmtab use strings to see it.

You might be able to rename /etc/lvmtab and then use vgscan -a

Or was that pvscan -a

Re: Ghost Disk

shalom Steve

no dead disk in lvmtab. yes the command is vgscan. no pvscan in hp-ux as far as i remember. i can do vgscan but will change the status in lvol ( ? status in my lvdisplay -v?)

Thanks

Joe
