Again, if all disks are available, I believe adding them to a volume group will "initialize" your disks. Seems to me that I've seen this before when disks came from IBM with previous data on them. They may need to be formatted.

Look at errpt and see if any errors, most likely will be some if not cabled correctly. Double check cabling would be my first step. It's easy to get the cabling on SSA wrong, you can "cable out" part of the drawer. David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/10/02 09:23AM >>> This is an AIX question so may be off subject a little. I just had a second SSA drawer installed with 16 disks, only 7 of them seem to be missing depending on how you want to look at them. LSPV shows this for those disks. I've never seen this before so I'm not sure how to "initialize" if you will to get them to show up in Smitty, can't see them there. I'll be using these for my disk pools and DB and Log mirrors. hdisk18 none None hdisk19 none None hdisk20 none None hdisk21 none None hdisk22 none None hdisk23 none None hdisk24 none None hdisk33 none None Others show this: hdisk25 000143405656e7ba None hdisk26 000143405657922b None hdisk27 000143405657e7d1 None hdisk28 00014340565826e1 None Thanks for the help.
