Table 7-1
Plex states (continued)
DescriptionState
A TEMPRM plex state is similar to a TEMP state except that at the
completion of the operation, the TEMPRM plex is removed. Some
subdisk operations require a temporary plex. Associating a subdisk
with a plex, for example, requires updating the subdisk with the volume
contents before actually associating the subdisk. This update requires
associating the subdisk with a temporary plex, marked TEMPRM, until
the operation completes and removes the TEMPRM plex.
If the system fails for any reason, the TEMPRM state indicates that
the operation did not complete successfully. A later operation
dissociates and removes TEMPRM plexes.
TEMPRM
The TEMPRMSD plex state is used by vxassist when attaching new
data plexes to a volume. If the synchronization operation does not
complete, the plex and its subdisks are removed.
TEMPRMSD
Plex condition flags
Table 7-2 shows the plex condition flags that vxprint may display in the STATE
field.
Table 7-2
Plex condition flags
DescriptionCondition flag
The plex was detached as a result of an I/O failure detected during
normal volume I/O. The plex is out-of-date with respect to the volume,
and in need of complete recovery. However, this condition also
indicates a likelihood that one of the disks in the system should be
replaced.
IOFAIL
No physical disk was found for one of the subdisks in the plex. This
implies either that the physical disk failed, making it unrecognizable,
or that the physical disk is no longer attached through a known access
path. The plex cannot be used until this condition is fixed, or the
affected subdisk is dissociated.
NODAREC
A physical device could not be found corresponding to the disk ID in
the disk media record for one of the subdisks associated with the plex.
The plex cannot be used until this condition is fixed, or the affected
subdisk is dissociated.
