new drives

[Matthew Mills_2]

I have an L2000 server running HPUX 11.2 I we ignited the servers from another L2000 that I am scraping. The server is running good. I then replaced two 18-GIG drives with two 146-GIG drives. I then ran "vgscan -a -v" I noticed that in sam that it thinks they are 18-GIG drives but the drives are named "HP 146 GST314807LC"

This is my output from the vgscan:

vgscan: The physical volume "/dev/dsk/c1t2d0" is already recorded in the "/etc/l
vmtab" file.
vgscan: The physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t0d0" is already recorded in the "/etc/l
vmtab" file.
vgscan: The physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t2d0" is already recorded in the "/etc/l

vgscan: Physical volume "/dev/dsk/c3t2d0" is not a block special file.
Couldn't stat physical volume "/dev/dsk/c3t2d0":
Invalid argument

Following Physical Volumes belong to one Volume Group.

this is output from SAM:

You are probably missing patches or a driver that allows the OS to recognize the larger drives. The large base patch PHKL_31500 does mention something about the 146GB drives. The latest LVM patches might also help.

What does "diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ" show for the large drives?
How up to date is the server patched?

[Matthew Mills_2]

diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
No such file or directory

?? am I missing a file?

hi,

try ioscan -fn && insf -e

mikap

[Matthew Mills_2]

$diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0
SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0:
vendor: HP 146 G
product id: ST3146807LC
type: direct access
size: 17783240 Kbytes

I also ran the "ioscan -fn && insf -e" command but with no luck. I will try to update my patches now and will let you know who it went...

> diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ

You have to use the actual disk device for your large drives in place of "X", "Y", "Z"

Based on your output above I think they would be

diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0
diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0

Matthew,

Since you ignited this server from an image where these drive bays were occupied by 18G drives and I think you are seeing these old values. Drive names or type that diskinfo returns, has no effect on LVM.

When you do a vgdisplay -v vg00 (assuming this is vg00 ortherwise, replace with the correct vg##) display ? Pease post the output.
