puzzled with VxVM and iostat..

Hi all,
One disk on my root disk group failed in Veritas Volume manager.
I replaced it with new one, initialized it and placed it with removed one.
it Synchronized plexes and everything is fine. this node was second standby node of Sun cluster. yesterday I had failure on active node with boot disk (same as second node) .. but what is puzzled me here it has mirror and it was alive .. it gives me warning not even error like:

Sep 27 22:07:19 host-1 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /ssm@0,0/pci@18,700000/scsi@2/sd@0,0 (sd3):
Sep 27 22:07:19 host-1 disk not responding to selection
Sep 27 22:07:19 host-1 vxio: [ID 107055 kern.warning] WARNING: VxVM vxio V-5-3-0 voldmp_errbuf_sio_start: Failed to flush the error buffer 0xdbf3c330 on device0x12800000003 to DMP
Sep 27 22:07:19 host-1 vxio: [ID 771159 kern.warning] WARNING: VxVM vxio V-5-0-2 Subdisk rootdg_2-01 block 64703344: Uncorrectable read error


First 2 lines are from system not from VxVM but after that vxio informed.
So it was at 22:07:19 and 30 seconds it continued give this log to terminal after what cluster said :

Sep 27 22:07:59 host-1 cl_dlpitrans: [ID 624622 kern.notice] Notifying cluster that this node is panicking
Sep 27 22:07:59 host-1 unix: [ID 836849 kern.notice]
Sep 27 22:07:59 host-1 ^Mpanic[cpu0]/thread=2a100045d20:
Sep 27 22:07:59 host-1 unix: [ID 562397 kern.notice] Failfast: Aborting because "rgmd" died 30 seconds ago.




and went to reboot ..

So why cluster got this warning like whole root-dg failured and went to reboot?!!! SmilieSmilie

and after that Application swithed to second node (where I changed failured disk not long ago and everything is fine) .. so there it started normally but I see in iostat that on first disk (exactly that was replaced) ..it has very big IO than other mirrored disk. So how Veritas synchronize, I mean how it works. Mirrored disks in VxVM always must have same IO ???

it is some time :
extended device statistics
r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device
0.4 1.7 17.1 28.0 0.2 0.0 90.7 14.3 19 1 c1t0d0
1.1 2.1 61.3 17.5 0.0 0.0 0.0 11.8 0 1 c1t1d0

and sometimes:

extended device statistics
r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device
0.0 0.2 0.0 1.6 1.0 0.0 5000.0 5.5 100 0 c1t0d0
0.0 0.2 0.0 1.6 0.0 0.0 0.0 5.4 0 0 c1t1d0

mkqdisk(8)						      Quorum Disk Management							mkqdisk(8)

NAME
mkqdisk - Cluster Quorum Disk Utility WARNING
Use of this command can cause the cluster to malfunction. SYNOPSIS
mkqdisk [-?|-h] | [-L] | [-f label] [-c device -l label] [-d [-d ...]] DESCRIPTION
The mkqdisk command is used to create a new quorum disk or display existing quorum disks accessible from a given cluster node. OPTIONS
-c device -l label Initialize a new cluster quorum disk. This will destroy all data on the given device. If a cluster is currently using that device as a quorum disk, the entire cluster will malfunction. Do not run this on an active cluster when qdiskd is running. Only one device on the SAN should ever have the given label; using multiple different devices is currently not supported (it is expected a RAID array is used for quorum disk redundancy). The label can be any textual string up to 127 characters - and is therefore enough space to hold a UUID created with uuidgen(1). -f label Find the cluster quorum disk with the given label and display information about it. -L Display information on all accessible cluster quorum disks. -d Increase debugging level. Specify multiple times for more information. Currently, specifying more than twice has no effect. SEE ALSO
