hpux vg accessible but device files missing!

Hi all,

I am looking at a MC cluster comprised of 2 nodes. There is a package named backup which does nothing more than mount a VG.

At one point we noticed errors in syslog that look like this:
cmclconfd[2722]: Could not access device file /dev/dsk/c20t0d0: No such file or directory

There are lots of those errors for every device in the vg.

The odd thing is that the VG is mounted and is being used but there are no device files! I tried insf -e -C disk, ioscan and mksf all without luck. The device files refuse to show up. ioscan doesnt show anything!

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Marius

what does the lvmtab says?
It is located at /etc, you can reade it with
strings lvmtab
also try vgdisplay
Maybe thy are pointing to other disk.
Also there si an special section in this forums for HPUX, meybe you will have more answers there
