Greetings all, first time poster here, so please be gentle.
I'm trying to run a POC for NetBackup Linux Flashbackup, but to do that
I need a VxVM volume and VxFS partition. I've got a 6TB lun presented
to a test RedHat 2.6 server as /dev/sdb. When I run vxdiskadm, option 1
to initialize the disk I get the following error.
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]
[sdb,sdb]
vxdisk list gives me the following output.
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
sda auto:none - - online invalid
sdb auto - - error
sdc auto - - error
I also tried running through the VxVM Admin guide and got the following:
vxdisk init sdb
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-0 read of lvm header blocks for /dev/vx/rdmp/sdb
failed
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-5433 Device sdb: init failed:
Disk Ioctl failed
My Symantec rep gave me some trial keys and free software, but I'm on my
own for configuration. Can someone here throw me a bone? I've got to be
doing something wrong.
Thanks!
