Having issues attempting to reduce the size of a disk group.

Question

I am attempting to reduce the size of my disk group as an excersize and unable to do so. I believe the issue to be that my plex is in a DISABLED REMOVED state and my volume is in a DISABLED ACTIVE state.

Doing research I did not do a vxresize before doing a vxdg rmdisk and now trying to get it back and I keep seeing different suggestions but nothing exactly on a DISABLED REMOVED state.

Any assistance would be appreciated...

You firstly need to add removed disks back to the diskgroup before trying to fix volume state.

Please show us output of 'vxdisk -o alldgs list'
	and tell us which OS disk was&nbsp;dg_acpdev_d02 and which one&nbsp;dg_acpdev_d04.

It was dg_acpdev_d04 but I re-added it as d05...

&nbsp;

marianne · Answer

You need to re-add the disk to the diskgroup using -k option to force VxVM to add the OS name as the removed disk media name:

vxdg -g &lt;dgname&gt; -k adddisk &lt;medianame=accessname&gt;&nbsp;

vxdisk list shows that&nbsp;d04 was&nbsp;emc1_3860.

So, remove&nbsp;dg_acpdev_d05 from the diskgroup, then add it with -k option.

vxdg -g dg_acpdev -k adddisk dg_acpdev_d04=emc1_3860

Try vxrecover after this, then check volume status with vxprint.&nbsp;

Thanks Marianne,

I was able to get the original drive back in place but seems the vxrecover does not want to cooperate...am I miising someghint in my vxrecover command?

&nbsp;the “Recovering an Unstartable Volume with a Disabled Plex in the RECOVER State” procedure in the Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide.

1. Force plex vol01-01 into the OFFLINE state.
	# vxmend -g appsdg -o force off vol01-01
	2. Place plex vol01-01 into the STALE state.
	# vxmend -g appsdg on vol01-01

3. There are no other clean plexes in the volume, so make plex vol01-01 DISABLED and CLEAN.
	# vxmend -g appsdg fix clean vol01-01

4. Start the volume, and perform resynchronization of the plexes in the background.
	# vxvol -g appsdg -o bg start vol01
	At this point, the file system is unmounted, checked for file system consistency, and remounted.
	# umount /files
	# mount /files
	UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-21268: /dev/vx/dsk/appsdg/vol01&nbsp;is corrupted. needs checking
	# fsck -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/appsdg/vol01
	log replay in progress
	replay complete – marking super-block as CLEAN
	# mount /files
