Recovering VxVM Volumes - Disk is LOST or Plex Status is RECOVER
Step 1. identify the lost disks
SolarisHost1# vxdisk list
...
- - c4t2d4 SolarisHost1-Application5 failed was:EMC_CLARiiON0_4
- - DG-application03 DG-application failed was:EMC_CLARiiON0_5
Step 2. for each lost disk, find the device
SolarisHost1# vxdisk -o alldgs list | grep DG-application
...
EMC_CLARiiON1_5 auto:sliced - (DG-application) online
...
Note: the disk should appear as online with a seemingly deported diskgroup, for example ””(DG-application)””.
Step 3. reinsert the disk in the Veritas config
SolarisHost1# vxdg -g DG-application -k adddisk
SolarisHost1# vxdg -g DG-application -k adddisk DG-application03=EMC_CLARiiON1_5
Note: ”“DG-application03”” is the Veritas disk name and ”“EMC_CLARiiON1_5”” is the associated device.
Step 4. find the broken Veritas plexes in the diskgroup
SolarisHost1# vxprint -g DG-application -th | grep DISABLED | grep RECOVER
Step 5. for each broken plex, clear the error flags
SolarisHost1# vxmend -g DG-application -o force off Application-01
SolarisHost1# vxmend -g DG-application on Application-01
SolarisHost1# vxmend -g DG-application fix clean Application-01
Step 6. Start all volumes in the diskgroup
SolarisHost1# vxvol -g DG-application startall
Step 7. Mount the filesystems
Optionally: do a fsck first!
Also applied when PLEX hang in RECOVER state :
v MyDG1 fsgen DISABLED 1048576 - ACTIVE - -
pl MyDG1-01 MyDG1 DISABLED 1048576 - RECOVER - -
sd MyDG1-04 MyDG1-01 ENABLED 1048576 0 - - -
