Hi folks, TSM server 5.1 on AIX 5.1
(This may a little more of an AIX question, but I've lost my TSM database...) I rebooted my Unix server today and four disks that belong to a volume for my TSM database, were not in the volume group any more! I know that I can't add them back in to the VG because the disks will be wiped. Ex: The last four disks used to be in the volume group: hdisk8 000d9f7fdabbdc5c TSMdbvg1024 hdisk9 000d9f7fdabbe670 TSMdbvg1024 hdisk10 000d9f7fdabbe852 TSMdbvg1024 hdisk11 000d9f7fdabbee59 TSMdbvg1024 hdisk13 000d9f7fe2b49302 None hdisk14 000d9f7fe2b50726 None hdisk15 000d9f7fe2c74aee None hdisk16 000d9f7fe2c76f92 None I'm hoping to get the disks back into the VG by hacking the ODM. Unless someone knows another way? My plan B is just to restore the database. Does this plan make sense: Delete the LVs first? rmlv TSMdbB rmlv TSMdbC rmlv TSMlogB rmlv TSMlogC Delete the VG? exportvg TSMdbvg1024 Add the VG and add the disks to the VG: Use smit. Create the LVs: /usr/sbin/mklv *S 4k -y 'TSMdbB' TSMdbvg1024 8 hdisk8 hdisk9 /usr/sbin/mklv *S 4k -y 'TSMdbC' TSMdbvg1024 8 hdisk8 hdisk9 /usr/sbin/mklv *S 4k -y 'TSMlogB' TSMdbvg1024 2 hdisk10 hdisk11 /usr/sbin/mklv *S 4k -y 'TSMlogC' TSMdbvg1024 2 hdisk10 hdisk11 Format LVs for TSM: dsmserv format 2 /dev/TSMlogB /dev/TSMlogC 2 /dev/TSMdbB /dev/TSMdbC dsmserv restore db Any help is greatly appreciated!
