This has got to be the system from hell. Once again, on the RP4440 (after the supplier replaced the entire box due to the bad RTC battery), finally have it all reloaded with the packages the developers need. The last thing is to add the secondary disk to the OS.
BCH sees both OS and secondary disk, IOSCAN
sees the disk, ioscan -funC
, the disk shows up, diskinfo
reads the disk ok, HOWEVER, when I do a vgcreate I get VGRA appears corrupted at the end of the create. pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0
, works, vgcreate
works and Vgdisplay
actually shows the vg online and available and good, but the VGRA appears corrupted still occurs. lvmtab gets updated. vgcfgbackup vg01
fails, lvcreate
WORKS, but mkfs
fails.
If I vgchange -a n vg01
, then vgchange -a y vg01
it cannot import the vg because it cannot associate the vg to a physical volume.
I have replaced the disk, Patched to Dec '09 release of OS patches from ITRC. Did searches for LVM, SCSI, DISK, SAM, VGRA and downloaded and installed the patches. Still fails. Any Ideas?
As of now, DD is able to write just fine to the disk ( dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c3t0d0 bs=1024k count=300000
)
