The Hot-Plug Procedure - HP Visualize J5000 Owner's Manual

The Hot-Plug Procedure

These are the steps required to properly hot-plug a disk drive:
Step 1
• Check if the LVM found the physical volume to be defective when the
volume group was activated.
• The "vgchange -ey" would have printed the following message on the
console:
WARNING:
VGCHANGE:WARNING: COULDN'T ATTACH TO THE VOLUME GROUP
PHYSICAL VOLUME "/DEV/DSK/cXtXdX"
THE PATH OF THE PHYSICAL VOLUME REFERS TO A DEVICE THAT
DOES NOT EXIST, OR IS NOT CONFIGURED INTO THE KERNEL.
• If the status of the "vgchange -v vg02" is unknown, you may check if
this occurred by doing a vgdisplay command:
vgdisplay VG name
For our example:
vgdisplay /dev/vg00
• If the disk was defective at vgchange time, the following messages
will be printed one or more times.
WARNING:
VGDISPLAY: WARNING: COULDN'T QUERY PHYSICAL VOLUME
"/DEV/DSK/cXtXdX"
THE SPECIFIED PATH DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO PHYSICAL VOLUME
ATTACHED TO THE VOLUME GROUP.
VGDISPLAY: WARNING: COULDN'T QUERY ALL OF THE PHYSICAL
VOLUMES
• If you see these messages, the disk was defective at the time the
volume group was activated.
Otherwise, your disk became defective after the vgchange and you must
continue with step 2 of this procedure.
