Hi everybody,
I have a little problem with my AIX 6.1, PowerHA 6.1 LVM mirror. After problem with SAN pathing of our one Datacenter, I have LV at stale state.
Code:
# lsvg cpsdata2vg

Normally I solve it by command varyonvg for non-concurrent LUNs. I cant find solutions for Enhanced-Capable concurrent LUNs.
I guess that the right way to solve this problem is command varyonvg too. With parameter '-c' for concurrent vary.
Does anyone have experience with this procedure? I cant umount this filesystem right now, so I am curious if I can do this without unavailability or other problem with filesystem.
I've created a partition with GNU Parted, how do I mount the partition?
The manual information at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html is good, but I am sure about how I mount the partition afterwards.
Thanks,

I've got two users that show in "w" with long idle times but if I search for their processes I find nothing (ps -ef | grep username )
I'm not sure why "w" still sees them and if there is anything (short of a reboot) that I can do to clean them out.
Ideas? (8 Replies)

Hello,
I have an ancient HP-UX 11.11 system where I have a logical volume marked stale and I can't get it sync'd. I have tried lvsync and lvreduce/lvextend to no avail. It is just one 4Mb PE on the disk that I can't get current.

PVCK(8) System Manager's Manual PVCK(8)NAME
pvck - check physical volume metadata
SYNOPSIS
pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
DESCRIPTION
pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--labelsector sector
By default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM label, starting at sector 0. This parameter allows you to specify a
different starting sector for the scan and is useful for recovery situations. For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted
or lost on /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MB. This area of the disk may be scanned by
using the --labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):
pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda
Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
