Need to replace a disk in a cluster

[Sreer]

Hi Gurus,

I need to replace a faulty disk in my cluster environment.

Its bit complicated already using 2 PVGs.

Seems the disks are connected in both nodes [ 2 node cluster] with same device names [/dev/dsk/c4t0d0 ]


please tell me what are the exact steps I need to follow to replace the disks?

thanks in advance for your extreme support.

On clusters, you normally do an

vgchange -a e ...

instead of

vgchange -a y ...
