Ok, I found a solution and let's hope that it is permanent and the error doesn't happen again:
The steps to be taken was:
1) umount -t flashcopy
2) varyoffvg flashcopyvg
3) rmdev -dl hdisk10;rmdev -dl hdisk11; rmdev -dl hdisk19
4) cfgmgr
5) varyonvg flashcopyvg
6) mount -t flashcopy
The configuration of the hdisks was firstly like:
Then it changed to:
and hdisk19 had the same PVID as hdisk8.
After the 6 steps above the situation is as before.
Does anyone have an idea what this means? hdisk10 is part of vg1. (vg1 has 11 hdisks)
I get this msg every morning @ 5:04 CST

Hi
We are running AIX5.3 on pseries 570. We have IBM ESS SAN stroage attached. We need to kick off flashcopy backups on the SAN. I have installed the CLI software but am missing a fileset. ibm2105esscli.rte or ibm2105cli.rte
This fileset contains the commands that can be issued from AIX to... (1 Reply)
When I list the PV's using lspv i see both vpath and hdisk names being listed. I got the info that each vpath is configured for 4 hdisks. Problem is I am not able to add either the hard disks in vpath to the existing non-rootvg. ? need to know the basics of vpath .. (4 Replies)
Hi,
in an environment with svc's and ds8xxx wat disk algorithm should be used and what is the difference here:

How do you create a dummy hdisk with AIX 6.1? In previous versions, I've used this and works, but now I get this error.

Any idea pls share (2 Replies)
Some storage/disks have been added to an existing AIX 6.1 server. The admin sent me the list of hdisk#'s for the new disks, but I need the corresponding rhdisk# for the same hdisk. (I know from past experience that the rhdisk that maps to an hdisk is not always the same number. For instance,... (5 Replies)

VGREDUCE(8) System Manager's Manual VGREDUCE(8)NAME
vgreduce - reduce a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgreduce [-a|--all] [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--removemissing] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [Physi-
calVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
vgreduce allows you to remove one or more unused physical volumes from a volume group.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-a, --all
Removes all empty physical volumes if none are given on command line.
--removemissing
Removes all missing physical volumes from the volume group, if there are no logical volumes allocated on those. This resumes normal
operation of the volume group (new logical volumes may again be created, changed and so on).
If this is not possible (there are logical volumes referencing the missing physical volumes) and you cannot or do not want to remove
them manually, you can run this option with --force to have vgreduce remove any partial LVs.
Any logical volumes and dependent snapshots that were partly on the missing disks get removed completely. This includes those parts
that lie on disks that are still present.
If your logical volumes spanned several disks including the ones that are lost, you might want to try to salvage data first by acti-
vating your logical volumes with --partial as described in lvm (8).
