Full Discussion: Bypass stale PE ?
Operating Systems HP-UX Bypass stale PE ? Post 302905473 by port43 on Wednesday 11th of June 2014 06:24:35 PM
Old 06-11-2014
So, I decided to unmirror everything and reorganize the logical volumes since some of them were spread over disks on the same controller or mirrored onto the same physical volume.

I got it to where I had all logical volumes on disks on one controller ie. each individual volume was completely on one disk on the 1/10/0 controller. I even put lvol5 (that had the stale PE) on it's own disk (c9t3d0) with nothing else on it. Everything was fine, all PE's were current. I then mirrored each LV to it's partner disk on the 0/10/0 controller ie. everything on c9t5d0 mirrored to c5t5d0 with no issue (lvol1 - lvol4, lvol6 - lvol8) but when I tried to mirror lvol5 from c9t3d0 to c5t3d0 I ran into the stale partition again, with the same PE's, and it's different disks this time:
Code:
# lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol5 /dev/dsk/c5t3d0
The newly allocated mirrors are now being synchronized. This operation will
take some time. Please wait ....

lvextend: Couldn't re-synchronize stale partitions of the logical volume:
I/O error
lvextend: Couldn't resynchronize logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol5".
# lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol5 | grep stale
LV Status                   available/stale
   00652 /dev/dsk/c9t3d0    00069 current  /dev/dsk/c5t3d0    00652 stale

I obviously do not understand how a stale PE on one disk can be the same stale PE on another.

Could it be as simple as a bad data in lvol5 where I need to fsck that file system before trying to mirror?

lvremove

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

NAME

       lvremove - remove a logical volume

SYNOPSIS

       lvremove [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...]

DESCRIPTION

       lvremove  removes  one  or  more  logical  volumes.   Confirmation will be requested before deactivating any active logical volume prior to
       removal.  Logical volumes cannot be deactivated or removed while they are open (e.g. if they contain a mounted  filesystem).   Removing	an
       origin logical volume will also remove all dependent snapshots.

       If the logical volume is clustered then it must be deactivated on all nodes in the cluster before it can be removed. A single lvchange com-
       mand issued from one node can do this.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -f, --force
	      Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the active logical volume lvol1 in volume group vg00 without asking for confirmation:

	    lvremove -f vg00/lvol1

       Remove all logical volumes in volume group vg00:

	    lvremove vg00
