Hi all,
I have a problem with Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM). I'm using Storage
Foundation 4.1 on a sun X2100, 5.10 Generic_118855-33. It is connected
to a Compaq StorageWorks JBOD via Dual HBA, I can't remember the
manufacturer of the HBA but I assume it is Qlogic. I downloaded the
volume manager direct from Symantec, it's not a SUN-branded one. See
below for diagnostic output etc.
The problem arises when I try to replace a faulty disk. I was testing
the procedure (getting up to speed on 4.1, the last VxVM stuff I did was
on 3.x), so created a RAID 5 volume (although this problem happens on
any kind of volume) and simulated a disk failure by removing one of the
drives. I then used vxdiskadm and selected the drive to be removed for
replacement. So far, so good.
I then replaced it with a fresh disk, fdisk'ed it and ran vxdctl enable.
I then went back into vxdiskadm (option 5), and this is what I saw :
Replace a failed or removed disk
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/ReplaceDisk
Use this menu operation to specify a replacement disk for a disk
that you removed with the "Remove a disk for replacement" menu
operation, or that failed during use. You will be prompted for
a disk name to replace and a disk device to use as a replacement.
You can choose an uninitialized disk, in which case the disk will
be initialized, or you can choose a disk that you have already
initialized using the Add or initialize a disk menu operation.
Select a removed or failed disk [<disk>,list,q,?] list
Disk group: datadg
DM NAME DEVICE TYPE PRIVLEN PUBLEN STATE
dm datadg12 - - - - REMOVED
Select a removed or failed disk [<disk>,list,q,?] datadg12
/usr/lib/vxvm/voladm.d/bin/disk.repl: -1: bad number
And then it bombs back to the main menu... I can't get past this error -
whatever I try, it just bombs out with the "disk.repl: -1: bad number"
error. Everything else I have tried seems fine, I just can't replace a
failed disk!
Has anyone any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong, or what the
issue may be ? I will of course summarize any responses or advice
received...
Many thanks in advance,
-Mark
