Operating Systems HP-UX VG and LV problem Post 302607772 by MazenH on Thursday 15th of March 2012 10:03:55 AM

Hi,

Thank you for your replies!

Well, I started recently working on the server, and it was already down. I noticed that the 16 non-system disks that are seen by the ioscan belong to these four VGs: vgdvqatr, vgr3dev0, vgr3qas0 and vgr3trn0.

The documentation I have only states that these 4 VGs are configured. (It is a test server, so I think the other VGs were introduced to test something).

The table below might make it clearer.

I also have the output of the bdf from the server when it was up and running.
You can notice that the mount points are the same as the ones in the table above (except /sapdata5 which isn't in the table, and maybe were added later)

What I am thinking is, shouldn't the vgdvqatr, vgr3dev0, vgr3qas0 and vgr3trn0 get activated normally since their disks are available?

The oracle company that tries things on this server maybe messed up with something and as per the error in my first post, I think that (according to my tiny knowledge) a vgextend should be done?
