HPUX 11.0, syslog error regarding lvm

[vaman]

I ahave an error in syslog
vmunix: LVM: Path (device 0x1f5e8500) to PV 5 in VG 20 Failed!
Can I know how to get the PV 5 & VG 20 , how to identify these numbers.

Hi,

to find vg 20 (hex 14)
ls -al /dev/vg*/group | grep 14

disk 0x1f5e8500 = c94t8d5

c=5e=94
t=8
d=5

Hi Vaman,

check this post,

# ll /de/dsk | grep 8500
would give you the correct disk.

Hope this helps,

1f = major number (decime 31 ie "sdisk" - from lsdev output)


5e = Card instance number

8 = scsi id number

5 = Device LUN

00 =

/dev/dsk/c5t8d5

I got the answer for vg 20, the minor no og group should be 14 in hex but for pv 5, is it refering to LUN no 5 of a device pv?

[Patrick Wallek]

It is referring only to the 5th PV that was defined in the VG.

Look at the previous responses to determine the exact PV it is talking about.

You could also do an:

# ls -l /dev/dsk | grep 5e85

and get the PV it is talking about.

Hi,

I assume the disk is listed at fifth position for this VG in /etc/lvmtabn. Do a "strings /etc/lvmtab" and for this vg, check the position of the disk. It should be the 5th disk for this vg.

Hope this helps.
