Full Discussion: AIX striped LV - lslv stripe width has wrong value
Operating Systems AIX AIX striped LV - lslv stripe width has wrong value Post 302380521 by Scott on Tuesday 15th of December 2009 11:33:12 AM

Hi zaxxon,

I used odmget/odmchange to update it.

I was about to run savebase as you suggested, but noticed this:

Code:
# lsvg -M data01vg
data01vg
0516-304 : Unable to find device id 00c9f44e00004c0000000103d13ca2e0.1 in the Device
        Configuration Database.

It's the same for every VG (even rootvg!).

In the ODM I see:

Code:
CuAt:
        name = "data01lv"
        attribute = "lvserial_id"
        value = "s"
        type = "R"
        generic = "D"
        rep = "n"
        nls_index = 648

what I suspect should be more like:

Code:
CuAt:
        name = "data01lv"
        attribute = "lvserial_id"
        value = "00c9f44e00004c0000000103d13ca2e0.1"
        type = "R"
        generic = "D"
        rep = "n"
        nls_index = 648

(and it's the same for every LV)

I don't know what happened here, or when. A restore of ODM from an old backup fixed this.

With the ODM looking OK again, I ran savebase, and now need to schedule a reboot.

Failing that I'll back it up, create it anew.

Thanks for the help.


Hi wwwzviadi,
Yes, there's definately 8 disks. Everything shows this (lspv, lsvg -p, lslv -l, etc.)

Playing around, it appears what might have happened (a long time ago!), goes something like:
Code:
# mkvg -fSy scottvg hdisk71 hdisk72 hdisk73 hdisk74
scottvg
# mklv -t jfs2 -y scottlv -S 64K scottvg 1536 hdisk71 hdisk72 hdisk72 hdisk73 hdisk74
scottlv
# lslv scottlv
LOGICAL VOLUME:     scottlv                VOLUME GROUP:   scottvg
LV IDENTIFIER:      00c9f44e00004c000000012593214e8c.1 PERMISSION:     read/write
VG STATE:           active/complete        LV STATE:       closed/syncd
TYPE:               jfs2                   WRITE VERIFY:   off
MAX LPs:            1540                   PP SIZE:        16 megabyte(s)
COPIES:             1                      SCHED POLICY:   striped
LPs:                1540                   PPs:            1540
STALE PPs:          0                      BB POLICY:      relocatable
INTER-POLICY:       maximum                RELOCATABLE:    no
INTRA-POLICY:       middle                 UPPER BOUND:    5
MOUNT POINT:        N/A                    LABEL:          None
MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY: on/ACTIVE
EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes (superstrict)
Serialize IO ?:     NO
STRIPE WIDTH:       5
STRIPE SIZE:        64k
DEVICESUBTYPE : DS_LVZ

Didn't know it was possible!

Thanks.

policy-test

POLICY-TEST(8)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    POLICY-TEST(8)

NAME

       policy-test - Postfix Policy Daemon Testing Tool

SYNOPSIS

       policy-test [options...] unix:/file/path policy-test [options...] inet:hostname:port

	-h, --help		display this help and exit
	    --version		output version information and exit
	-v, --verbose		increase verbosity level

DESCRIPTION

       policy-test is a script that converts Postfix log entries on the standard input into requests to the Postfix policy daemon given as the
       first argument. It can be used for:

       Testing the performance of a policy daemon
       Pre-seeding a Greylist policy daemon with data from the logs

       Note that this program is still in its very early stages of development and does only support a small subset of the normal attributes used
       in the Postfix policy delegation protocol. It basically supports the bare minimum to make it work with Postgrey.

       Also note that a non-standard attribute is being generated: policy_test_time contains the Unix timestamp of when the client connected.
