Replace a bad disk in a mirrored volume group

By omp on Saturday, July 21, 2007

 

1. unmirrorvg workvg hdisk7
2. reducevg workvg hdisk7
Note: migrate the lv copies of the disk if you get any errors like lvcopies on disk.

3. rmdev -l hdisk7 -d

replace the disk drive, let the drive be renamed hdisk7

4. extendvg workvg hdisk7
5. mirrorvg workvg hdisk7

Note: By default in this example, mirrorvg will try to create 2 copies for logical volumes in workvg. It will try to create the new mirror
