Veritas Volume Manager: disk "failed was"

Hello there,

I'm going to describe a situation I've got here... feel free to ask away questions and I'll provide what I can if it'll help me get this answered!

When I do a vxdisk list, I see a disk that VxVM calls "disk4" that is listed as "failed was: c1t9d0s2". When I do a format, I can go to the disk, do a p-p to see the partition table, no complaints.

So what I don't understand is this: in vxdisk list, c1t9d0s2 is now listed as disk02. Is c1t9d0s2 really disk4, or disk2? vxprint -htv |grep disk4 doesn't return anything on that disk, but vxprint -htv |grep disk02 does. So... what disk is disk04? Does it even exist? Is that a silly question? Smilie

Thanks in advance,
Susan

Here's another note.

Upon doing vxdisk list disk4, I get this message:
vxvm: vxdisk: ERROR: disk4: Not connected to a physical disk

NAME
vrnotify - display Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) events SYNOPSIS
vrnotify [-g diskgroup] [-n number] [-t timeout] [rvg1 rvg2...] DESCRIPTION
The vrnotify utility displays events related to Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) as managed by the Volume Replicator administrative daemon, vradmind. The vrnotify command is a VVR-specific utility and requires a valid VVR license. A Replicated Data Set (RDS) is comprised of a Replicated Volume Group (RVG) on the Primary host and its counterparts on the Secondary hosts. Note: An RDS is a concept used in vradmin; it is not a VVR object. The vradmind daemon distributes VVR related events to Primary and Secondary hosts in the RDS. The vrnotify command displays events for one or more RDS. The rvg argument is the name of a replicated volume group (RVG) on the local host that specifies the RDS on the local host. rvg determines a default local disk group, according to the standard disk group selection rules described in vxintro(1M). You can specify a specific local disk group using the -g diskgroup option. The vrnotify command displays each event on a new line using the following format: host-name:event-type:rds-name:Event Message The following event types may be displayed: o resync_started o resync_stopped o resync_paused o lat_throttle_on o lat_throttle_off o lat_throttle_override o lat_throttle_fail o srlprot_throttle_on o srlprot_throttle_off o srlprot_override o srlprot_fail o srl_overflow o srlprot_dcm_on o srlprot_dcm_off o rlk_connect o rlk_disconnect o srl_log_warn OPTIONS
-g diskgroup Specifies the disk group for the operation, either by disk group ID or by disk group name. By default, the disk group is chosen based on the RDS rvg (if any). -n number Displays the indicated number of events, then exits. -t timeout Displays events for up to timeout seconds, then exits. The -n and -t options can be combined to specify a maximum number of events and a maximum timeout to wait before exiting. FILES
/var/vx/vras/log Directory containing log files for vradmind server. EXIT CODES
The vrnotify utility exits with a status of 1 if the attempted operation fails. This exit code is the same for all problems. SEE ALSO
