ne suggestions frens
thnks in advance

Yes, why cant you have 30 volumes on 37 disks? Are you sure that its not the case?

If yes, please see below and let us know.

?Question?

How many disk do you actually have?
What is the version of VXVM you are running?
What is the OS? Version?
What is the model of server?
What is the configuration/algorithm used for of DMP?

hi fren

i hv 30 volumes on 30 disk only

There are 4 storages attached to the server wid solaris 10
al 4 are sun 6140
i have 2 SAN switches for 4 storages as i cn max add 3 storages

one volume has been assigned to the disk
i cn c dat in storage too
there is no problem from storage end

As far as i knw only those LUNs are shown in vsdisk list output that you hv assigned in the storage
plz correct me if i am wrong here
Now as i hv 2 SAN switches 4 paths should exist for each disk
bt nw whn i chek the paths assigned
via luxadm

i gt the following output
jest chek the last 7 logical disk ( they hv 2 paths )

Well, as of I know, the vxdisk list command only displays the names of the
native multipathing metanodes, and cannot display legacy names
for the devices. (i.e) There are no alternate link to the disk listed on the vxdisk list command.

As of I believe, its gonna be with DMP end only. Were there any HW changes to the server bro? Or, any changes to DMP configuration?

Are you using active/active?


Hmm... Please try the below bro..
This could give us some more information about the paths configured.. Please make sure we are finding the paths for all the disks)

All the best!

hey budyy!!

yeh the controllers were changed for the storages
For this storage both the controllers failed at one go
So both were changed


chek d below output if u cn chek nethin out

i think dats nt an option in my system

vxdmpadm getlungroup dmpnodename c4t2d2
