Having trouble replacing a drive.

[Ray Humpage]

The drive is failing. I was able to reseat it and get a good backup.

The current drive is an 18GB drive in an FC10.
I am trying to replace it with a 36Gb drive.

I have done a vgcfgbackup and removed the disk from the volume group.

When I replace the drive and replace it I get the following message.

Fibre Channel Driver detected a parse error in the FLOGI/PLOGI response.

Any ideas why I can't replace this?

Should I done a pvremove before I rebooted?

See event 47 and 54 in this link.
http://docs.hp.com/en/diag/ems/dm_TL_adapter.htm

VA 7100 installtion manual says
"If the device has been replaced
intentionally, please use the fcmsutil(1M) command's replace_dsk option to allow the new device to be used.
Fibre Channel Driver detected a parse error in the FLOGI/
PLOGI response returned by nport ID 0x2a. FLOGI/PLOGI Fail Code = 0x6."

I think you need to perform the same steps here too.

Shalom,

That document is the definitive how to on such situations.

I'm also rather thrilled to be participating in ITRC from 40,000 feet, aboard an El Al 747-400

Technology is wonderful isn't it.

Hi Ray,

Cause: The PLOGI or FLOGI response from the device or switch had a parse error. Parsing error could occur if the PLOGI/FLOGI response payload had an unexpected value. Parsing error occurs normally due to
- a misbehaving device or switch
- a device or switch sending PLOGI or FLOGI response that is not standard compliant

Action: Report the problem to Hewlett Packard and to device or switch Vendor. Provide the contents of the system log file. The system log file is at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Best Regards,
Prashanth

Hi Ray,

It is very much safe to run the fcmsutil commmand on an on-line disk , if still the error exists you need to remove the corresponding H/W path and reboot the system.
