VxVM online disk failing.....

Hi Gurus,

I have a VxVm set up in server in which one of the root dg is showing as failing as below. Can any one help me in sorting out the same as this is a production server.

server# vxdisk list

Is it mirrored
vxprint -thg rootdg

If it is mirrored probably disk has gone bad
(what does ioscan say).

You may have to change the disk.
If it is not mirrored then you will to restore from backup.

Hi,

If you have a support contract call HP and have the disk replaced, you can use the vxadmdisk command to replace the disk and resync the mirror.
