Question Symantec/Veritas Volume Manager - subdisk * not in configuration

Hello,

There once was a disk. Veritas thought it wasn't happy, but it really was.

The disk was all alone on a plex. There was another plex, in the same volume, that was fine and happy with its own single disk.

I removed the plex with the unhappy disk. Then I went into vxdiskadm, removed the disk, and added the disk. Now, within vxdisk list, the disk looks happy, and looks the same as all the other disks.

So now I am trying to create a new plex, with that same disk, attach it to the volume, and move on with my story...
# vxsd -g rootdg assoc plexname-02 diskname
...and I get...
vxvm: vxsd: ERROR: Subdisk diskname not in configuration

Thoughts? And thanks...
Susan

create a subdisk and associate to a plex, use vxmake

Creating a subdisk:
vxmake [-g groupname] sd subdisk diskname,offset,length

associate subdisk to a plex.

vxsd assoc <plexname> <subdiskname>

Computer solved...

Sorry I didn't reply sooner... basically I was getting confused in my brain--I wasn't understanding that there are "disks" and "subdisks"... got that straightened out in my head, and everything else was cake. Smilie
