LVM - Quorum
Hi all
Just a question about quorum.
I am running AIX 5.3

Rootvg has 2 PV - not mirrored. quorum is switched on.
What happens when one disk fails?, can i replace the disk and bring the entire VG back up. with all the data intact. knowing that the VG will be unavailable until i replace the disk.

Thank you in advance

If not mirrored, if one disk fails, depending of its content I suppose you are doomed...
Replacing the disk would be to know which one failed... How will you deal the restore if your boot disk is now unavailable?

Add a new pv ( the size same with or bigger than the bad one) in rootvg first, and then migrate pv.
