not able to initialize the disk
I had a disk under VxVM control. I removed it from VxVM control. Again when I added the same disk, it is not allowing me to initialize
.Also I feel, it is showing wrong multipaths in vxdisk list ou...
May you can try the option -ifr (is not documented)
vxdisksetup -ir c0t500507680140533Ad8
But if this fails, the procedure to use when adding new drives appear to us all as a single disk with as many paths as there are actual discs:
vxdisk rm <disk> (erase the disk)
vxdmpadm exclude dmpnodename=<dmpnode_erase_disk>
vxdctl enable
We found that no reference to the new disks:
vxdisk list
vxdmpadm getsubpaths
We clean the system if any erroneous reference:
devfsadm –Cv
Include and discover new disks:
vxdmpadm include dmpnodename=<dmpnode_erase_disk>
vxdctl enable
There should now be well recognized all disks.
