Operating Systems HP-UX Remove Faulty disk from HP-UX LVM VG Post 302597367 by vbe on Friday 10th of February 2012 05:23:48 AM

I may repeat myself but if you followed my previous post, where I mentioned how to do the dd, you should have understood why HP did not caution the way you wanted to do the dd.
I have a proper clone of a disk that knows only one disk in vg00, thus no errors
You have a copy of a single disk from a vg00 which is mirrored... (so all will be stale...)
...

Now you havent said since your posts are unclear to me (which boxes are doing what..)
On what box are you working with now. How was it mounted, did you test if you could reboot from the second disk?
On what disk have you booted now?
Is this disk the Primary?
etc...

Subsidiary question: You have nowhere a golden image? even for your production machine?
Are you completely relying on a mirrored rootvg?

volreattach(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    volreattach(8)

NAME
volreattach - Reattaches disk drives that have once again become accessible SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/volreattach [-rb] [accessname...] /usr/sbin/volreattach -c accessname OPTIONS
The volreattach utility has the following options: Calls the volrecover utility to attempt to recover stale plexes of any volumes on the failed disk. Performs the reattach operation in the background. Checks whether a reattach is possible. No operation is performed, but the name of the disk group and disk media name at which the disk can be reattached is displayed. DESCRIPTION
The volreattach utility attempts to reattach disks using the same disk group and media names they had before detachment. This operation may be necessary if a disk has a transient failure, or if some disk drivers are unloaded or unloadable when the Logical Storage Manager is started, causing disks to enter the failed state. If the problem is fixed, the volreattach command can be used to reattach the disks without plexes being flagged as stale, as long as the reattach happens before any volumes on the disk are started. The volreattach command is called from the voldiskadm menus as part of disk recovery. The volreattach utility tries to find a disk with a disk group and disk ID matching that of the disk(s) being reattached. If the matching disk is found, the reattach operation may still fail if the original cause (or some other cause) for the disk failure still exists. EXIT CODES
A zero exit status is returned if it is possible to perform a reattach. Otherwise, non-zero is returned. SEE ALSO
