Patches and Fixes in This Version

Chapter 130

• Look at the NAME ﬁeld immediately to the right of the "sd" column.

This will show the subdisk name, which is made up of the DM name

followed by -nn, where nn is a number such as 03, 04, and so on. This

should allow you to identify the DM name of the disk that is not your

boot disk. You can remove the plex and its associated subdisk by

executing the vxplex command as follows:

vxplex -o rm dis plex name

For example, to remove the rootvol plex associated with rootdisk02:

vxprint -g rootdg rootvol

TY NAME ASSOC KSTATE LENGTH PLOFFS STATE

v rootvol root ENABLED 524288 - ACTIVE

pl rootvol-01 rootvol ENABLED 524288 - ACTIVE

sd rootdisk01-03 rootvol-01 ENABLED 524288 0 -

pl rootvol-02 rootvol ENABLED 524288 - ACTIVE

sd rootdisk02-03 rootvol-02 ENABLED 524288 0 -

vxplex -o rm dis rootvol-02

NOTE The TUTIL0 and PUTIL0 ﬁelds have been removed in

the above vxprint output for readability.

Once the system has been repaired and is up in normal mode, the root

volume can be remirrord using the command:

vxassist -g rootdg mirror rootvol dm:rootdisk02

vxassist Issues

vxassist Sometimes Applies the Wrong Layout to a Mirrored

Volume

• Problem: While doing relayout on a mirrored volume, the vxassist

command keeps the volume as mirrored even if the layout attribute

is speciﬁed as stripe or nomirror. For example, see the following

commands:

# vxassist make vol 1g layout=mirror-stripe ncol=3
