Hello Sir,
Thanks for your help!
It seems like it might work. I was a bit scared before running the command because it seems like the chdev command will affect the hdisk device on both machines. (In other words my AKI machine will already have it varyonvg, then should I run this command?)
I was scared that running this command on HAG would ruin the ability for AKI to varyonvg the volume group.
The lspath commands on both machines are slightly different orderings also.
Here is the output:
HAG> lspath
Enabled hdisk1 scsi3
Enabled hdisk0 scsi2
AKI> lspath
Enabled hdisk0 scsi2
Enabled hdisk1 scsi3
So... is it safe? Is there anything i should know before running your sequence of commands:
1.
cfgmgr on HAG
2.
cfgmgr on AKI
3.
varyoffvg vg00~vg05 on AKI (to make sure no IO is happening to the hdisks)
4.
lspath (to make sure the paths to the hdisk0/1 are enabled.... *** Note that hdisk2-7(which are the ones that map to vg00-vg05, are NOT LISTED here. Is that bad?) ***
5. Take a few minutes to relax nerves...
6. Run command:
chdev -l hdisk3 -a pv=yes; lspv ; (then check to see if lspv for hdisk3 has a value instead of "none None").
If safe... then run:
chdev -l hdisk4 -a pv=yes; chdev -l hdisk5 -a pv=yes; chdev -l hdisk6 -a pv=yes; chdev -l hdisk7 -a pv=yes; lspv
Is this safe? Will I be OK?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
How are you doing... I tried the command you told me but it did not work.
When I ran chdev -l it said...:
$ chdev -l hdisk3 -a pv=yes
Method error (/etc/methods/chgfcparray):
0514-047: Cannot access a device: pv
Is this because the volumes are varied on my other server? Should they be varied off before this command?
Thank you very much for your help!
