Correcting conflicting configuration information
To resolve conflicting configuration information, you must decide which disk
contains the correct version of the disk group configuration database. To assist
you in doing this, you can run the vxsplitlines command to show the actual
serial ID on each disk in the disk group and the serial ID that was expected from
the configuration database. For each disk, the command also shows the vxdg
command that you must run to select the configuration database copy on that
disk as being the definitive copy to use for importing the disk group.
Note: The disk group must have a version number of at least 110.
The following is sample output from running vxsplitlines on the disk group
newdg:
# vxsplitlines -v -g newdg
VxVM. vxsplitlines NOTICE V-0-0-0 There are 2 pools
All the disks in the first pool have the same config copies
All the disks in the second pool may not have the same config copies
To see the configuration copy from a disk, enter the following command:
# /etc/vx/diag.d/vxprivutil dumpconfig private path
To import the disk group with the configuration copy from a disk, enter the
following command:
# /usr/sbin/vxdg (-s) -o selectcp=diskid import newdg
Pool 0
DEVICE DISK DISK ID DISK PRIVATE PATH
newdg1 c2t5d0 1215378871.300.vm2850lx13 /dev/vx/rdmp/c2t5d0
newdg2 c2t6d0 1215378871.300.vm2850lx13 /dev/vx/rdmp/c2t6d0
Pool 1
DEVICE DISK DISK ID DISK PRIVATE PATH
newdg3 c2t7d0 1215378871.294.vm2850lx13 /dev/vx/rdmp/c2t7d0
If you do not specify the -v option, the command has the following output:
# vxsplitlines -g mydg listssbinfo
VxVM vxdg listssbinfo NOTICE V-0-0-0 There are 2 pools
