what I ended up doing (with guidance from ibm support) was copying the
secondary superblock over the primary...this allowed me to copy off the
data that was on the two disks that DIDN'T fail...obviously, the contents of
the disk that died are gone for good, but if anyone wants the command to
recover the superblock, i'll post it.

If the lv spans the disks ( hdisk1 / hdisk2 / hdisk3 ), then you are pretty
much hosed on salvaging the lv/filesystem. If you cannot access the disk,
then you cannot migrate the lv off the disk.
Which disk does not spin up ? hdisk3 or hdisk8 ? If hdisk8 is working,
then the volume group brought it online since it has the pvid of that vg.
Is this a 2104 that it is in ? I have had issues and like was pointed out,
reseating them some times works.
Can you send the lspv / lsvg -l <vg> / lsvg -p <vg> output ?
Thanks,
Lamar

it won't spin up - how old is this disk? is it external? can you shake it?
maybe it would spin up afterwards

Thema: Re: URGENT failed hdisk problem
diags say it won't spin up....the lv i'm concerned about is mostly on
hdisk2
(which is fine)...and hdisk1...how do I get hdisk3 out of that lv so I can
mount it without losing all the data on hdisk2 and 1?

That disk is probably already "online". It would be part of the VG since
it
would have read the PVID off the disk on boot. What does the output of
lspv
tell you ? What about the output of lsvg -p rootvg ?

Subject: URGENT failed hdisk problem
I've got a scsi hdisk in a system that had two logical volumes on it, and a
paging space...it seems to have gone batty and forced the system to
reboot...the old hdisk (hdisk3) is now listed as missing, and a new hdisk
(hdisk8) appears, in the same location code..so it's the same disk. Is it
possible to get that disk back online without losing the contents? I think
if I add hdisk8 to the volume group, it's going to format it, isn't it?
Help!
