LVM error

[Amit Manna_6]

HI all,

any idea on this.

LVM: VG 64 0x060000: Unable to identify the latest copy of configuration and status information. Quorum check failed!


regards
Amit

Hi Amit,

It's saying that a disk in the VG with minor number 0x060000 has failed.
Run the following to determine what VG
ll /dev/vg*/group
The one with minor number 0x060000 will be it.
Then run
vgdisplay -v /dev/vg_name
to see what disks (PVs) it uses.
Then run
ioscan -fnC disk
and look for one of those disks to read
NO_HW
Then run
diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ (Note: the use of the raw device)
on it & if doesn't respond or shows 0 bytes - there's your culprit.

HTH,
Jeff

Hi Amit:

You have a physical disk that cannot be accessed. "0x060000" would point to vg06.

Do :

# strings /etc/lvmtab

...to determine what physical disk occupy this volume.

Do:

# ioscan -fnC disk

...and look for NO-HW or UNCLAMIMED software states.

Regards!

Please post the output of...

# ll /dev/*/group | grep "0x060000"

thanks!

hi guys,

i am facing the same message though the vg minor number reported is 0x010000. Strange enough, the system does not contain any volume group with this minor number. Any ideas where else can it be referenced as clearly the LVM subsystem thinks that there is a group like this (i get this msg even after a fresh reboot).
