Unable to bring a disk from error to online state.

Hello experts.

I am using Solaris 10(2005) on intel machine. I have installed Veritas Volume manager 5.0. I am unable to bring a disk error to online state. I would like to bring that disk to CDS format.

Commands i used and output are....

Code:
#vxdisk list

DEVICE       TYPE            DISK         GROUP        STATUS
c0t0d0s2     auto               -            -            error
c1t1d0s2     auto:none       -            -            online invalid

#vxconfigd -k

is this the systems boot disk? and why you want to use dmp on that disk?

Old 07-05-2008
Thanks for giving replay...

That is not a boot disk. That is extra disk. I would like to bring into cds format. How can i disable DMP(Dynamic Multi pathing)?

maybe you can use "vxdiskadm". it's a cli for volumemanager

Old 07-05-2008

How to use #vxdiskadm ? I have tried with some options of #vxdiskadm.
Same problem...

post some more information about your system....

df -h
format | echo
vxprint -ht

pls dun use vxdiskadm. bring the system down to single user. is your system connected to SAN? do a fsck on the rootvol and datadgs first.
try to mount them in single user to see if any error is hit. DO A BACKUP FIRST!!.
Try importing the disk groups manually first. You can refer to Veritas website for checking on the error code statuses, if any.
