Unable to bring a disk from error to online state.

UNIX Solaris
1

Hello experts.

I am using Solaris 10(2005) on intel machine. I have installed Veritas Volume manager 5.0. I am unable to bring a disk error to online state. I would like to bring that disk to CDS format.

Commands i used and output are....

#vxdisk list

DEVICE       TYPE            DISK         GROUP        STATUS
c0t0d0s2     auto               -            -            error
c1t1d0s2     auto:none       -            -            online invalid

#vxconfigd -k

is this the systems boot disk? and why you want to use dmp on that disk?

3

Thanks for giving replay...

That is not a boot disk. That is extra disk. I would like to bring into cds format. How can i disable DMP(Dynamic Multi pathing)?

4

maybe you can use "vxdiskadm". it's a cli for volumemanager

5

Thanks again..

How to use #vxdiskadm ? I have tried with some options of #vxdiskadm.
Same problem...

6

post some more information about your system....

df -h
format | echo
vxprint -ht

7

pls dun use vxdiskadm. bring the system down to single user. is your system connected to SAN? do a fsck on the rootvol and datadgs first.
try to mount them in single user to see if any error is hit. DO A BACKUP FIRST!!.
Try importing the disk groups manually first. You can refer to Veritas website for checking on the error code statuses, if any.

Thanks for your replay.

I dont have any disk group and SAN. I am using Intel P3-1GHz,512 and two Hard disks (40gb and 20gb). In 40gb i have installed Solaris 10(2005) and Storage Foundation's Veritas Volume Manager 5.0. 20gb hard disk is empty. How can i bring 20gb into cds format.?

9

post the required outputs .
include /etc/vfstab , df -h, vxdisk -o alldgs list , vxdg list, vxprint -ht ,
format .. specify clearly what you're looking out for :eek:

10

Is the disk which cannot be added an IDE disk?

11

Thanks again..

I dont have any diskgroups and volumes. Just i need to bring a disk under veritas control using #vxdisksetup command. I would like to make a CDS diskgroup. Out puts of tried commands are..

#vxconfigd -k

I have operating system in c1t1d0 disk.
c0t0d0 is empty disk.

I have tried to disable/enable DMP.

#vxdmpadm enable ctlr=c0

I dont want to use DMP right now. Is it possible to have CDS disk group. If you need any commands output, I will give.

Thanks in advance....

Thanx..

Yes, I am using IDE disks. I am able to add disk into simple and sliced formats.
But i can't able to add that disk into CDS format.
Doesn't IDE support CDS format?
