Full Discussion: Remove the disk online
Operating Systems AIX Remove the disk online Post 302772573 by bakunin on Tuesday 26th of February 2013 06:31:24 AM

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:
    Code:
    replacepv hdiskold hdisknew

  • 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:

    Code:
    rmdev -dl hdiskold

    Notice that "replacepv" will already have moved the disk out of the PV.

I hope this helps.

SYSTEMD-NETWORKD-WAIT-ONLINE.SERVICE(8)                      systemd-networkd.service                      SYSTEMD-NETWORKD-WAIT-ONLINE.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, systemd-networkd-wait-online - Wait for network to come online

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-networkd-wait-online is a one-shot system service that waits for the network to be configured. By default, it will wait for all
       links it is aware of and which are managed by systemd-networkd.service(8) to be fully configured or failed, and for at least one link to
       gain a carrier.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -i, --interface=
           Network interface to wait for before deciding if the system is online. This is useful when a system has several interfaces which will
           be configured, but a particular one is necessary to access some network resources. This option may be used more than once to wait for
           multiple network interfaces. When used, all other interfaces are ignored.

       --ignore=
           Network interfaces to be ignored when deciding if the system is online. By default, only the loopback interface is ignored. This option
           may be used more than once to ignore multiple network interfaces.

       --timeout=
           Fail the service if the network is not online by the time the timeout elapses. A timeout of 0 disables the timeout. Defaults to 120
           seconds.
