VOM missing disks

I'm having issues trying to determine the best place to look to determine the reasons why VOM is reporting different information to commands run at the command line.

 

E.G

[root@svctesu02 ~]# vxdisk list -o alldgs
DEVICE       TYPE            DISK         GROUP        STATUS
fj_dxm0_000a auto:cdsdisk    meth01-fs_dg01  meth01-fs_dg online
fj_dxm0_000b auto:cdsdisk    -            (meth02-fs_dg) online
fj_dxm0_000c auto:cdsdisk    -            (meth03-fs_dg) online
fj_dxm0_0006 auto:cdsdisk    -            (meth01-db_dg) online
fj_dxm0_0007 auto:cdsdisk    -            (meth02-db_dg) online
fj_dxm0_0008 auto:cdsdisk    meth03-db_dg01  meth03-db_dg online
fj_dxm0_0032 auto:cdsdisk    -            (vxfendg)    online
fj_dxm0_0033 auto:cdsdisk    -            (vxfendg)    online
fj_dxm0_0034 auto:cdsdisk    -            (vxfendg)    online
sda          auto:none       -            -            online invalid
sdb          auto:LVM        -            -            LVM
sdc          auto:LVM        -            -            LVM

Yet in VOM I only see the following

disk fj_dxm0_000a is not show in VOM but it is there in the system.

VOM does show that its Disk Group is imported and Healthy

 and its Volume is online,

but it has no details of the disk,

how can this be?

It's not causing any issues to the "solution" but it's worrying that it has no information about a disk that is there at the OS, where should I start to look to investigate this further?

The command that VOM uses for Storage Foujndation discovery is "vxlist" (not a typo).  Unless you find a simple explanation for this behavior using this utility, please open a case with technical support for an analysis of the discovery process for this disk.  Based on the data supplied here, this may be more of an issue that can be handled in this forum.

I expected as much...  When I return to the customers site I will do further analysis and open the case, I just wanted to see if anyone else had seen anything similar, VXVM and VCS are functioning as would be expected...  The environment isn't a live one yet.  Intresting thing that the same issue with two different VOM servers each looking at a different environment.  The example above was in the new  UAT environment, but the new Production Environment has a similar issue where it also can't see one of its disks in VOM too...

It is fairly normal to have information in VOM lagging behind actual state in VxVM if something was done on a node outside of VOM, I've seen delays for tens of minutes till VOM actually picked up the changes and updated its database.

That said, if it is consistently out of date and not consistent with CLI after the "refresh host" was run it might be subject to a support case.
