  Hi,
  I have a defect disk in an LSM mirrored configuration. rz0 and rz1 are
mirrored.
  What are the commands required to replace the disk rz1 and add to the
mirroring.
  The OS is V4.0F. The output from the commands

  root_at_psw318:/>volprint -Aht

Disk group: rootdg

DG NAME GROUP-ID
DM NAME DEVICE TYPE PRIVLEN PUBLEN PUBPATH
V NAME USETYPE KSTATE STATE LENGTH READPOL PREFPLEX
PL NAME VOLUME KSTATE STATE LENGTH LAYOUT ST-WIDTH

SD NAME PLEX PLOFFS DISKOFFS LENGTH DISK-NAME DEVICE

dg rootdg 937488988.1025.psw318.psi.ch

sd rz17-01 pl-02 35560000 0 35560000 rz17 rz17


 Can I use the following commands, please to replace the disk. I use the
same
 addresses(slot)

 voldg -g rootdg -k rmdisk rz1

 voldisk rm rz1

 voldisksetup -i rz1 privlen=1024 nconfig=1 nlogs=1 after changing and
labelling
                                                      the disk. I need the
whole disk
                                                      for mirroring.

 voldg -g rootdg -k adddisk rz1=rz1

 volrecover -sb rz1

  rz0 and rz1 are mirrored. Disklabel -r rz0 gives the following output:
  ====================================================================

How to replace a failed
LSM mirrored system disk
                                                 SIBEC 15.Apr.1998




Operating Systems :

Digital UNIX V4.0x

Problem :

How to replace a failed LSM mirrored system disk

Solution :

1.) List the LSM configuration

    # volprint -Aht

1.) Disassociate ALL plexes linked to the failed disk

    e.g.

    assume disk rz2 failed

    # volplex -o rm dis rootvol-02

    # volplex -o rm dis swapvol-02

    # volplex -o rm dis usrvol-02

    ...

2.) Remove the failed disks from the disk group

    # voldg -k rmdisk rz2a rz2b rz2g

    # voldisk rm rz2a rz2b rz2g

3.) now physically replace the disk rz2

4.) Write a disklabel onto the new disk (e.g. for a rz28 disk type)

    # disklabel -rw rz2 rz28

5.) Add the disk to LSM again

    # voldiskadd rz2

6.) Mirror the system disk again

    # volrootmir -a rz2
