IDE DISK ERR2 and LVM SA STALEPP errors in errpt

UNIX AIX

Hi,

I'm getting the errors below in the errpt report for a IBM Blade server. I'm guessing there's a problem with one of the disks but don't know how I can confirm this. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Regards

Gareth

Any disk device errors in the error log? Sounds to me like a hard disk failing.

try lslv -p on both hdisk and check where the stale pps are, but errpt -a should tell you the failed hd too

if you are not shure, make a dd copy from the disk and see if it works

if this was just a temporary failure use varyonvg <vgname> to sync the stale pps

If this is a temporary failiure you can also just issue "syncvg VGNAME" to sync the stale pps. This eliminates the need for varyoffvg/varyonvg.

you don't have to varyoff the vg before using varyonvg to sync, but of course, syncvg works too
