One disk is bad!

[mudongxiao]

My /dev/vg04/c0t10d0 is bad,
I replace it with a good one,
Ioscan can find it.
I can not recreate the lv and vg on the new disk,
I failed to remove the old vg04 and logic volume as well.
Which file i meed vi,
Can you give me the steps.
Thanks

vgcfgrestore -n vg04
vgchange -a y vg04

then you should be able to run lvcreate

[mudongxiao]

I type
vgcfgrestore -n vg04
error:
more arguments required

vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg04
vgchange -a y /dev/vg04

You need to mention the disk device name
vgcfgrestore /dev/vg04 /dev/rdsk/c0t10d0 (or whichever is the new disk)

then vgchange -a y /dev/vg04

-USA..

sorry this was my bad.. I assumed the vgcfgrestore line ending with the raw device file was a known fact. I should have been more explicit... Uday's expanded command should work provided /dev/rdsk/c0t10d0 is your raw disk device file.

hi,
first the disk should be in the same id ....

the steps are

# vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg_name /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

example:

# vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg01 /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0
Volume Group configuration has been restored to /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0

you will get message like this ...

then
# vgchange -a y /dev/vg_name

In your case it should be:
# vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg04 /dev/rdsk/c0t10d0
# vgchange -a y /dev/vg04

this should solve your problem....

Hi

1. vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg04 /dev/rdsk/c0t10d0

2. vgchange -a y /dev/vg04

3. vgsync /dev/vg04 if disk is part of miirored volume

4. Restore file system if it is non mirrored disk

Hi,

did the suggestions of ITRC people work?
I saw that you don't assign points for efforts of ITRC people to help you. Can you assign them? This forum is a great forum, full of experience but it has an etiquette too.

No points for me here please....

Thanks for your collaboration!

Best regards,
Fabio

Make sure the
#diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c0t10d0
has an output that shows the disks header info and the correct size. The new disk could potentially be bad even though IOSCAN says CLAIMED.

Good Luck!
