Unable to mirror a volume

Hi

We are trying to mirror a volume without success.

Got this error :VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-1080 Unexpected inconsistency in configuration

After some searching on the net we found that the problem could  be this (in BOLD)

vxprint -g sybase15_mlc15_dg -m |grep da_name
        da_name=emc_clariion1_38
        last_da_name=emc_clariion1_38
        da_name=emc_clariion1_39
        last_da_name=emc_clariion1_39
        da_name=emc_clariion0_56
        last_da_name=emc_clariion0_56
        da_name=emc_clariion1_91
        last_da_name=emc_clariion1_91
        da_name=emc_clariion2_20
        last_da_name=emc_clariion2_20
        da_name=emc_clariion3_40
        last_da_name=emc_clariion3_40
        da_name=emc_clariion1_38
        da_name=emc_clariion1_39
        da_name=emc_clariion0_56
        da_name=emc_clariion2_20
        da_name=emc_clariion3_40
 

This disk does not exists in 'vxdisk list'

How do we delete this disk-entry ? (emc_clariion1_91)

    Hi

    Thanks for all help.

    We solved th problem with vxconfigd -k

    vxdg -g <diskgroup> rmdisk <DM_name> gave us this error:

    VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-555 Disk emc_clariion1_91 not found in configuration

    Do you see that 1_91 disk in "vxdisk list" output ?

    also, need to know what is the volume structure ..

    # vxprint -qthg <diskgroup> <volume>

    What are contents of /etc/defaults/vxassist ?

    Hello Lasse,

     

    Did you try removing the disk (vxdg rm)? If yes, what error it gives?

     

    If you are sure that the disk is no more in the configuration, could you try removing it :

    # vxdg -g <diskgroup> rmdisk <DM_name>

    ** There must be a DM name associated with the disk. Find the DM name corresponding to *1_91 disk in

    # vxprint -htg <DG> output. Or  # vxprint -g tt -m | egrep '^dm|da_name'

    vxconfigd -k is one of the steps in the TN that I've posted 2 days ago...
