I have replaced disks many of times in the situation of veritas I am
using but now I seem to have problems. Went though the same steps as
before running 'vxdiskadm' # 4 then 5. I also have to tell the scsi bus
to remove the device and I reinsert it with:
echo "scsi remove-single-device 1 0 17 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 17 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
So now I am at the point I have the new drive in, the OS can see it, I
can run fdisk on it but I can't get veritas to see/initialize it:
Select a disk device to enable [<disk>,list,q,?] sdi
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-531 Device sdi: online failed:
Disk is not usable
This disk device does not appear to be valid. The disk may not have
a valid or usuable partition table, the special device file for the
disk may be missing or invalid, or the device may be turned-off or
detached from the system. This disk will be ignored.
Output format: [Device_Name,Disk_Access_Name]
[sdi,sdi]
Any ideas?
Thanks
