I have a AIX 7.1 system that has 3 failed disks, 1 in rootvg and 2 in vg_usr1.
Here is the output of lspv.
Output of lsvg for rootvg and vg_usr1.
Output of lsvg -p rootvg and vg_usr1.
When I query each VG, I found that the following PVs are in a missing state.
It does look like I have a disk that is unassigned, "hdisk42", so I'd like to put this one in use while I get 2 other disks to replace with.
I was going to try and remove hdisk31 and put hdisk42 in its place..
My notes for removing, swapping the failed disk and adding a new one in for AIX 7.1 are as follows..
Quote:
1) Unmirror hdisk31
unmirrorvg -c 1 vg_usr1 hdisk31
2) Take the disk out of the VG
reducevg vg_usr1 hdisk31
3) Remove the disk from system configuration
rmdev -dl hdisk31
4) Replace the disk
5) Get the disk back to the system configuration
cfgmgr
6) Add the disk to the VG
extendvg vg_usr1 hdisk31
7) Mirror hdisk31 again
mirrorvg -S -c 2 vg_usr1
"-S" will synchronize the stale partitions in the background.
8) After some time "lsvg vg_usr1" should show "STALE PPs: 0"
However, something is not happy, I can't get passed the first step.
Then I tried varyonvg. no success.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
