Replace a mirrored drive on AIX
Another from the department of notes I need once a year, with luck :-)
Note: add'l steps required for bootable drives, I'm sure...
#
# assumes you have figured out which hdisk has failed, usually from
# the errors it generated, and know where in the shelves it hides...
#
lspv -l hdisk--
#
# want the LV NAMEs (eg loglv-- and fslv--)
# also note the MOUNT POINTs
#
lslv loglv--
lslv fslv--
#
# want the VOLUME GROUPs (eg ---vg)
#
lslv -l loglv--
lslv -l fslv--
#
# want the PVs (eg hdisk--), make sure ours is on the list
#
rmlvcopy fslv-- 1 hdisk--
rmlvcopy loglv-- 1 hdisk--
reducevg ---vg hdisk--
#
lsdev -C |grep hdisk
rmdev -dl hdisk-- # takes a bit...
lsdev -C |grep hdisk # note disk is now gone
#
# remove disk, insert new
#
cfgmgr # takes a bit...
lsdev -C |grep hdisk # note disk is now back
#
chdev -l hdisk-- -a pv=yes
extendvg ---vg hdisk--
mklvcopy fslv-- 2 hdisk--
mklvcopy loglv-- 2 hdisk--
#
syncvg -l loglv-- # order doesn't matter, smallest first
syncvg -l fslv-- # but, may take awhile
