The disk is already listed "missing", so it is effectively already removed, as far as the volume group is concerned. Yes, you can remove the disk physically too now. Use normal hot-swap-procedures to do so.
As far as i can tell your LVs are mirrored, so as long as you have mirrored correctly (that is: of the 2 copies of each LP there is only one on the missing disk, not both) you can remirror your VG without any data loss. Use normal disk replacement procedures:
Issue "lspv" to list your currently attached disks. Save this information.
(Physically) Attach the new disk to the system. Run "cfgmgr" to make the disk known.
Use "lspv" to find out which hdiskX-device is the new one. Compare this with the information previously saved in 1.).
Issue "replacepv" to replace the disk:
Check the "STALE PARTITIONS" count in "lsvg", it will eventually drop to zero, which means the process finished. Then
Remove the missing disk from the system configuration:
Notice that "replacepv" will already have moved the disk out of the PV.

Hello,
I've got 2 system disks (hdisk0 and hdisk1) in the mirror (RAID1) on AIX 5.3. Since the hdisk1 makes some troubles, we want to replace it with the new one. How can I disable this hdisk1 disk and prepare the mirror to use the new physical disk? As far as I know, I must remove disk from the... (3 Replies)
Hello once again seeking your help,
I have a mirrored disk and need to unmirror it to mount it as a new file system (/export) but could not find the correct steps to do it with out affecting the original disk.
can anybody point me out on how to get this done.

Hi
I'm a little rusty with HACMP, but wanted to find out if it is possible to remove a disk heartbeat network from a running HACMP cluster.
Reason is, I need to migrate all the SAN disk, so the current heartbeat disk will be disappearing. Ideally, I'd like to avoid taking the cluster down to... (2 Replies)

I added a disk to a zpool using "zpool add diskname"

vxsplitlines
vxsplitlines(1M)vxsplitlines(1M)NAME
vxsplitlines - show disks with conflicting configuration copies in a cluster
SYNOPSIS
vxsplitlines [-g diskgroup] [-c daname]
DESCRIPTION
If you import portions of a disk group on different systems, this can lead to conflicting configuration copies on the disks of the disk
group.
If the configuration information in a disk group is ambiguous, it may not be possible for Veritas Volume Manager to determine which config-
uration copy is most up-to-date. (This is usually termed a serial split brain (SSB) condition when it occurs in a cluster.) You cannot
import a disk group in this state unless you specify which disk's configuration copy to use.
You can use the vxsplitlines command to see which disks in a disk group have conflicting configuration copies, and use this information
together with your knowledge of the history of the disk groups' usage to determine which configuration copy is most valid.
The output from vxsplitlines displays the vxdg commands that you can run to import the disk group using the available configuration copies.
The -o selectcp option of the vxdg import command is used to select the configuration copy to use for the import.
OPTIONS -c daname Display the SSB IDs for each disk that are stored in the configuration copy on the disk specified by its disk access name.
Note: Although the SSB IDs for some disks may match, this does not necessarily mean that those disks' configuration copies have
recorded all the configuration changes. When viewed from some other configuration copies, the SSB IDs of the same disks may not
match.
-g diskgroup
Specifies the disk group. If a disk group is not specified, the default disk group is used as determined from the rules on the
vxdg(1M) manual page.
EXAMPLES
Display the disks on each side of the split in the disk group newdg:
vxsplitlines -g newdg
Display the SSB IDs stored in the configuration copy on disk c2t4d0:
vxsplitlines -g newdg -c c2t4d0
NOTES
The vxsplitlines is primarily intended to be used with private disk groups, but it also works with shared disk groups.
The version number of the disk group must be 110 or greater.
