san lv showing old fs
Hi All,
I have been working with two AIX with san and this is the first I got this minor problem on my third AIX. The san/hdisk was recreated so many times because of this problem. When I created a new vg and fs. The fs will be mounted/unmounted properly but if I query the fs on a vg with this "lsvg -l vg", the fs that will show will be the previous lv that I created but the mounted fs is the new, even with df, I will see the new lv/fs. Even when I cd to the new fs, it will change to it, but if I cd to the old fs, it will give me error with no such file or directory. Why is that? Is my ODM corrupted? Thanks in advance, itik |

At least it sounds like that. Did you delete the old VG prior to creating it anew? Try the following: "varyoffvg" the VG in question, then "exportvg" it to completely get it out of the system. Delete the respective hdisk devices. Edit /etc/filesystems to get rid of the old filesystem entries.
(Ah, before i forget: before you do any of this make sure you have a working backup - this is all *very* destructive and *very* finally so.) Then create the SAN shares anew, run "cfgmgr" and only then create a new VG and the filesystems. I hope this helps. bakunin |

Multipathing?
If you don't have multipathing set up properly for the SAN the AIX system may see the old FS via the old path.
Also I dont think exportvg is destructive. It just cleans out the AIX ODM. You can always do an "importvg" to bring the VG back, just point it to the hdisk. I use this to migrate the VG from one AIX server to another. Data is still there on disk. |
