Hi Guys... This is an update.

QUESTION:

How can I get my HAGUROYAMA machine to mount vg00-vg05 volume groups. It cant seem to talk to the SAN, but I made the WPPN access allowed. How can I make it so when I type 'lspv' I see the same output as my working server AKINOUMI. Both are AIX


DETAILS:



Thanks for your help. We appreciate it very much. Today we did a few tests on the machine which may have put Haguroyama closer (or further) away to the working machine Akinoumi.

We noticed that the Haguroyama had 2 dar devices (dar0, dar1) when running your command, while Akinoumi only had 1 dar device (dar0). Thanks for showing us this command, it seemed to have helped resolve the problem a bit. I then decided to use the below steps to make Haguroyama only have 1 dar device:

rmdev -R -dl dar0 #also removed: hdisk2,3,4
rmdev -R -dl dar1 #also removed: hdisk5,6,7
rmdev -dl dac0
rmdev -dl dac1
rmdev -R -dl fcs0
rmdev -R -dl fcs1
cfgmgr -v

After cfgmgr finished running, there was now only 1 dar device, and the mapping seemed to be closer between the two machines. The only difference is two things:

1. Each Hdisk has "none None" as PVid (when viewing with lspv)
2. Each Hdisk on Haguroyama uses the opposite fcs device from Akinoumi.

Im thinking that if we can fix the above 2 problems, we may be able restore the ability for hacmp to varyonvg the volume groups (such as vg00, vg01 and so forth). So here is the question:

"How can we make the `lspv` command produce the same mapping on both Haguroyama and Akinoumi(working)"?

Below are the results of the commands of the current state of the systems.

lspv
getlvodm -C
fget_config -A
lsdev -C | grep dar
lsdev -C | grep dac
lsdev -C | grep fcs
lsdev -Cc disk -F 'name location'
lsdev -Cc driver -F 'name location'


*As you look at the results below you will notice a lot of differences between the machine! Even the fget_config is weird!*
