First some specifics. This is an E3000 running Solaris 2.6 and VxVM
pkginfo -l SUNWvxvm
PKGINST: SUNWvxvm
NAME: Sun StorEdge Volume Manager
CATEGORY: system
ARCH: sparc
VERSION: 2.6,REV=2.5.3
VENDOR: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
DESC: Virtual Disk Subsystem
PSTAMP: veritas-2.5.3c:27-apr-1998
INSTDATE: Feb 18 2001 00:39
HOTLINE: Please contact your local service provider
STATUS: completely installed
FILES: 225 installed pathnames
11 shared pathnames
6 linked files
37 directories
122 executables
1 setuid/setgid executables
24150 blocks used (approx)
This is the process that I used:
Rebooted the server to the alternate boot disk.
vxdiskadm - Remove disk for replacement
touch /reconfigure
Shutdown the server, replaced the bad disk with a good one
boot the server from the second disk
vxdctl enable
vxdiskadm - Replace failed or removed disk
While using vxdiskadm to replace the rootdisk, I am getting the
following error....
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
UNKNOWN ERROR WHILE WRITTING VTOC
UNKNOWN ERROR WHILE WRITTING VTOC
dd: /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s0: open: I/O error
Replacement of disk rootdisk in group rootdg with disk device
c2t0d0 completed successfully.
Replace another disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
*****
So with the error message, I think that I am OK because it also
indicated the rootdisk was replaced successfully, but then vxprint shows
me the following....notice the IOFAIL. This is a brand new disk and I
have had the same problem on other disks. From the OS point of view I
can format it and use it without problem, but within VxVM, I am having
some major issues.

SCSI Inquiry shows the following for the replaced disk:
Vendor: SEAGATE
Product: ST34371W SUN4.2G
Revision: 3162
SCSI Inquiry show the following for the existing good disk:
Vendor: SEAGATE
Product: ST34371W SUN4.2G
Revision: 7462
Could it have something to do with the revision number on the drive?
Note, I know if I do it this way, upgrading is going to be a pain.
However, because of the software running on this server upgrading is not
an option. This server was previously upgraded from Solaris 2.5.1 but
that was way before I took over admin responsibilities for this box.
I am at a loss. Has anyone seen this before and know how to get around
it?
Thanks and will summarize.
