errpt kept sending errors after disk replacement

UNIX AIX
1

Hi,

The system is a Power6 8204 with an external storage 7031. OS is AIX 5.3. I replaced a failed disk hdisk28 and put it back to the volume group. Everything looks just fine. After the replacement, errpt has kept sending "Perm DISK OPERATION ERROR".

Other than the error, everything still looks fine with the new disk and the system. I've closed all the serviceable cases and renewed Log Repair in diag, but still received the errors.

My question are (1) how to stop errpt from sending the error? (2) How to troubleshoot any possible disk issue? Please help.

Thank you in advance!

Check the errpt entries before and after the disk replacement, do they show the same disk detail, serial, Etc?

If they do then something odd is going on, like the VG thinks it is still missing the old disk.

If the new errors show the details of the new hdisk28 then it looks like the new disk has a problem.
