I have a little problem with my AIX 6.1, PowerHA 6.1 LVM mirroring.
I accidentally created logical volume cpsabcd2lv with external jfs2log loglv00 in the same volume group cpsdata2vg. Then I mirrored LV cpsabcd2lv on the second LUN in VG cpsdata2vg. My journal is unmirrored and only on one LUN.
Code:
# lsvg cpsdata2vg

I know that I can´t change external jfs2log to INLINE, but is there a smart way how to repair it/mirror it? Hdisk36 and hdisk37 are the same size and contain only VG cpsdata2vg.
What if I just add copy of the LV loglv00 to hdisk37? Will it add a copy behind the LV cpsabcd2lv or this overwrite LV cpsabcd2lv?
Hello,
I have two hdisk in Power7 machine, the rootvg on hdisk0.
So to make a disk redundancy should make mirror or alt_clone and what is the different.
Appreciate your help

in trying to rectify a stale lv problem I ran rmlvcopy <lv> 1 <primary disk> leaving the original os disk without lv copies other than the stale lv.
Both disks seem operational, but, lsvg rootg shows 1 stale pv.
The end goal is to re-attach the lv's back to hdisk1, and then attempt a reboot... (11 Replies)

I've looked a little but haven't found a solid answer, assuming there is one.
What's better, hardware mirroring or ZFS mirroring? Common practice for us was to use the raid controllers on the Sun x86 servers. Now we've been using ZFS mirroring since U6. Any performance difference? Any other... (3 Replies)
