Hello,
I have an ancient HP-UX 11.11 system where I have a logical volume marked stale and I can't get it sync'd. I have tried lvsync and lvreduce/lvextend to no avail. It is just one 4Mb PE on the disk that I can't get current.
I'm wondering if there isn't a way to mark that single PE bad so that LVM won't use it and reassign that LE to another PE since there are more available? I just find it hard to swallow that I have to replace the disk because of a 4Mb sliver.

If you are having physical disk problems, it's not just the 4MB sliver that's failing. Any disk made in the last 20 years or so auto-remaps failing areas, to no longer be able to do so means so many sectors have failed all over the disk that it can't remap anymore.

After reducing the logical volume and reducing the volume group, I replaced the disk with another one:
backed up /etc/lvmtab, ran vgscan, pvcreate, vgextend, lvextend, and I have the same exact stale PE:
How is that even possible?
OK
N4000 had slots fo internal disks, are you using them?
I have no more HP-UX boxes now so I have try to do things by memory...
What I find strange is have vg00 ( OS ) with 6 disks... is it you never made other VG?
is there any mirroring?
Can sou give use the output of
and look if there is anything interresting in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log, you may be having a failing controller or a failing disk sending weird stuff...
What does pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c9t5d0 give you?
But the best would be you, describe us vg00, how it is configured, how the disks are set using what interface/controllers... And giving a minimum information of FS layout...
I inherited the server support and the people responsible for the initial setup are long gone so I do not know much of the history and the server is located in another part of the country where I have no "physical" access to it.
There are no internal disks in the server; it's root volume group is on six of eight Seagate disks in the external A3312A (Jamaica) enclosure. There are two other volume groups but they are in an EMC disk array.
The pvdisplay output is 2198 lines but it is basically:
Aside from typical su, login, ftp, and telnet information, the only thing in the syslog that looks like it pertains to this is the continuous (along with the vgextend and lvextend commands I executed):
and that is the same output from the previous disk replacement as well as the current one.
vgdisplay for vg00 (where the stale PE is):
The file systems in vg00:
I am not sure how to get the information

HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
I've got two users that show in "w" with long idle times but if I search for their processes I find nothing (ps -ef | grep username )
I'm not sure why "w" still sees them and if there is anything (short of a reboot) that I can do to clean them out.
Ideas? (8 Replies)
