If this is from a short SAN issue, then you can just clear the FAILING flag using vxedit, as documented in the VERITAS Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide: >From the section titled "Clearing the failing flag for a disk" (sorry, it did >not cut/paste too well): Use the vxdisk list command to find out which disks are failing:
# vxdisk list DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS c1t1d0s2 auto:sliced mydg01 mydg online c1t2d0s2 auto:sliced mydg02 mydg online failing c1t3d0s2 auto:sliced mydg03 mydg online . . . 2 Use the vxedit set command to clear the flag for each disk that is marked as failing (in this example, mydg02): # vxedit set failing=off mydg02 3 Use the vxdisklist command to verify that the failing flag has been cleared: # vxdisk list DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS c1t1d0s2 auto:sliced mydg01 mydg online c1t2d0s2 auto:sliced mydg02 mydg online c1t3d0s2 auto:sliced mydg03 mydg online -- John Cronin 678-480-6266 ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jarkko Airaksinen Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 4:22 AM To: Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-vx] one slice failing Hello, After a short connection loss at the SAN I got some write errors and this: dg cd_data01dg default default 10000 1175087864.68.mdr-cadmium dm cd_data01dg01 c3t50001FE15005E90Dd9s2 auto 65536 629047040 NOHOTUSE dm cd_data01dg02 c3t50001FE15005E90Cd8s2 auto 65536 209616640 FAILING dm cd_data01dg03 c4t50001FE15005E908d10s2 auto 65536 1048477440 NOHOTUSE v DATA01 - ENABLED ACTIVE 838662144 SELECT - fsgen pl %2 DATA01 ENABLED(SPARSE) TEMPRM 629047040 CONCAT - WO sd cd_data01dg03-02 %2 cd_data01dg03 209615104 629047040 0 c4t50001FE15005E908d10 ENA pl DATA01-01 DATA01 ENABLED ACTIVE 838662144 CONCAT - RW sd cd_data01dg01-01 DATA01-01 cd_data01dg01 0 629047040 0 c3t50001FE15005E90Dd9 ENA sd cd_data01dg03-01 DATA01-01 cd_data01dg03 0 209615104 629047040 c4t50001FE15005E908d10 ENA One disk failing. But it's working just like before. What's failing then? The timing is convenient though; I'm moving all the stuff on only one big slice and removing the rest of the slices from the dg thus leaving only one slice per disk group, and this is the last disk that has more than one slice. However I'd like to fix the failing disk just in case this happens in the future to a volume where there's only one slice. Any ideas how to do it without stopping the volume?
