replace a mirror disk

[Michael Lee_4]

Hi all,

We replaced a damaged disk a few days ago. It is a mirror copy. I deactived the vg, did vgcfgrestore on the new disk, then actived the vg. It began sync and all seem to be ok(pvdisplay,vgdisplay all right).
Now I found that whenever I deactive the vg and active it again, it requires sync. The extent status are all "stale".
Had I miss some important steps when replacing the mirror disk?

Regards,
Leo

Hi there.
Did you enter the replace disk statement after you changed the disk ?

Hello,

I had the same problem on a 10.20 box and the PHKL_16751 patch solved the problem for me. Hope This helps.

Thanks to all, but swlist shows that we have installed PHKL_18543. The Support Engineer suggest me do lvreduce and then lvextend. I will try.
