You sure it didn't happen before this? Any chance that you simply didn't notice it until after the reboot? > This is what vxprint -ht shows for rootdg: > > dg rootdg default default 69000 1169725410.7.mdr-platinum > > dm rootdg01 c0t0d0s2 auto 76647 143538119 NOHOTUSE > > dm rootdg02 c1t0d0s2 auto 76647 143461472 NOHOTUSE > > sd rootdg01Priv - rootdg01 4097720 76647 PRIVATE c0t0d0 > ENA Okay, so far so good. > pl opt-02 - DISABLED - 0 CONCAT - > RW > > pl rootvol-02 - DISABLED - 0 CONCAT - > RW > > pl swapvol-02 - DISABLED - 0 CONCAT - > RW > > pl var-02 - DISABLED - 0 CONCAT - > RW All the *-02 plexes are disconnected here. They are disabled because there is no storage associated with them. In addition, they are not part of any volume.

My assumption is that someone has changed out a drive (c1t0d0) in the past, and moved the VxVM objects by hand or something. As part of the process the old (empty) *-02 plexes were left around. I doubt the patches had anything to do with this. > I'm still quite new to the SF, could anyone please advise me if this is > a good or a bad thing? If it's a bad thing, what could be the remedy? I don't see anything wrong as a first pass other than some leftover objects that should probably be deleted. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
