vgsync fails

[david d_2]

Hello, after replacing a faulty disk I ran
vgcfgrestore
vgchange
and when I run vgsync and comes back with the following message:
Couldn't resynchronize stale partitons of the logical volume: I/O error

I ran a dd on the disk and it came back clean, also when I do ran an lvdisplay it came back with no stale partitions.
The other strange thing is the output of the vgdisplay shows the Total PE and free PE's to be at 4340.

Next I tried to reduce the mirror to start over and that failed as well.

Any ideas?

Hi David,

Can you give me the outputs of the following...

#pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/ both primary and mirror disk
#vgdisplay -v
#lvdisplay -v /dev/vgXX/lvol*

Best Regards,
Prashanth
