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)

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"

mbrlabel
MBRLABEL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MBRLABEL(8)NAME
mbrlabel -- update disk label from MBR label(s)
SYNOPSIS
mbrlabel [-fqrw] [-s sector] device
DESCRIPTION
mbrlabel is used to update a NetBSD disk label from the Master Boot Record (MBR) label(s) found on disks that were previously used on
DOS/Windows systems (or other MBR using systems).
mbrlabel scans the MBR contained in the very first block of the disk (or the block specified through the -s flag), then walks through every
extended partition found and generates additional partition entries for the disk from the MBRs found in those extended partitions.
Each MBR partition which does not have an equivalent partition in the disk label (equivalent in having the same size and offset) is added to
the first free partition slot in the disk label. A free partition slot is defined as one with an fstype of 'unused' and a size of zero
('0'). If there are not enough free slots in the disk label, a warning will be issued.
The raw partition (typically partition c, but d on i386 and some other platforms) is left alone during this process.
By default, the proposed changed disk label will be displayed and no disk label update will occur.
Available options:
-f Force an update, even if there has been no change.
-q Performs operations in a quiet fashion.
-r In conjunction with -w, also update the on-disk label.
-s sector Specifies the logical sector number that has to be read from the disk in order to find the MBR. Useful if the disk has remapping
drivers on it and the MBR is located in a non-standard place. Defaults to 0.
-w Update the in-core label if it has been changed. See also -r.

The mbrlabel command appeared in NetBSD 1.4.
