Operating Systems HP-UX Remove Faulty disk from HP-UX LVM VG Post 302597272 by Shirishlnx on Thursday 9th of February 2012 09:40:31 PM
Old 02-09-2012
When I started mirroring the VG00 on my new disk, the system had already 2 disk in mirrored state ... At that time my mirror value was 1, so while mirroring 3rd disk have used -m 2 .. and my # lvlnboot -v shows all boot order without error .

Then have removed my 3rd disk directly.. without spilting or reducing vg ..

After that had ran above cmnds .. and get stuck .. As I understand now current state is my all mirrored got failed .. only 1 active boot disk is there ... it may be bcz have done wrong vg reduce or lvreduce .. Smilie

## Now what I want is to .. remove what error am getting then remirror this OS on second disk .. to safely handover this server ...

##########
Code:
lvreduce -m 1 -A n -k  /dev/vg00/lvol${i} /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
 
-A n ::  
Do not backup configuration changes after lvreduce .. 
-k:: IS to be used when your pv is missing (i.e disk is not there u had removed )

Had taken these args from source

NAME
vxconfigbackupd - disk group configuration backup daemon SYNOPSIS
vxconfigbackupd [-l] DESCRIPTION
The vxconfigbackupd daemon automatically backs up information about a disk group's new configuration whenever the configuration is changed. OPTIONS
-l Logs backup daemon activities to the file /etc/vx/cbr/bkdaemonLog. FILES
/sbin/init.d/vxvm-recover Startup file for vxconfigbackupd. /etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.dginfo Location of backup file for disk group information. /etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.diskinfo Location of backup file for disk attributes. /etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.binconfig Location of backup file for binary configuration copy. /etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.cfgrec Location of backup file for configuration records in vxprint -m format. NOTES
The vxconfigbackup command can be used to back up a disk group's configuration manually at any desired time. The disk group configuration backup and restore utilities do not save any data in the public region. This includes file system or other application data that is configured within VxVM objects. When a disk group is destroyed, its configuration backup information (including the backup directory) is also removed. The only exception to this behavior is when the disk group is in the precommit state of restoration. The backup directory should be large enough to accommodate copies of all the currently imported disk groups. The minimum recommended size of the backup directory is P * (N + 1) megabytes, where P is the private region in megabytes (by default, 32MB), and N is the number of disk groups. The additional P megabytes is required to hold a temporary copy of the disk group configuration when a disk group is imported or a configuration change is made. The default backup directory is /etc/vx/cbr/bk. The location of the backup directory can be configured by using the vxconfigbackup -l backup_directory_path command. SEE ALSO
