[Brian Lee_4]

Whenver I triy to split logical volumes with lvsplit, an system crash occurs.

Do you know why it is happening ?

Original lvol is located in EMC SYMMETRIX 8730
Mirrored lvol is located in DMX2000

Have you configured your system to save crash? If yes what it says?

Do you get anything in /var/tombstones/ts99 file? If yes this could be hardware problem.

This is one of the ways to anlyze the crash.
Check if the crash has been saved or not.

adb -m /var/adm/crash/kernel_image /var/adm/crash

(If the crash has been saved in multiple directories you will have give that way)

Once on adb prompt, do msgbuf+8/s

Check for stck trace.

You might want to boot to lvm mode for this work.

More data is required to answer your question.

At the console
At boot time, interupt at the 10 second prompt.

I found the message below in syslog.log file

Dec 26 15:26:43 staq01 sfd[2652]: recovering from previous daemon crash.

Also, the crash occurred when "vgcfgbackup" command was executed after splitting mirrors successfully.

Any idea ?
