I'm getting some errors on AIX regarding Flashcopy and volume group hard disks.
The script that activates flashcopy showed this errors:
From the Storage Manager Client the Flashcopy was active but was not shown/mounted its filesystems on AIX.
And then after cfgmgr showed this output:
lspv showed this output (no hdisk10 part of flashcopyvg)
Flashcopyvg had originally hdisk10 and hdisk11 assigned.
Why is there hdisk10 disappeared and replaced by another non-existent before hdisk19 which itself is shown identical with hdisk8 (same PVID) ??
Ok, I found a solution and let's hope that it is permanent and the error doesn't happen again:
The steps to be taken was:
1) umount -t flashcopy
2) varyoffvg flashcopyvg
3) rmdev -dl hdisk10;rmdev -dl hdisk11; rmdev -dl hdisk19
4) cfgmgr
5) varyonvg flashcopyvg
6) mount -t flashcopy
The configuration of the hdisks was firstly like:
Then it changed to:
and hdisk19 had the same PVID as hdisk8.
After the 6 steps above the situation is as before.
Some storage/disks have been added to an existing AIX 6.1 server. The admin sent me the list of hdisk#'s for the new disks, but I need the corresponding rhdisk# for the same hdisk. (I know from past experience that the rhdisk that maps to an hdisk is not always the same number. For instance,... (5 Replies)
Hi,

How do you create a dummy hdisk with AIX 6.1? In previous versions, I've used this and works, but now I get this error.
hostname:/:# mkdev -l hdisk57 -c disk -t osdisk -s scsi -p fscsi0 -w 0,10 -d
