I need to initialize one of my volumes but it tells me that I can't becuase it says:
# vxvol -g ccs-data -f init zero pdfformsvol VxVM vxvol ERROR V-5-1-1212 Volume pdfformsvol has plexes that are not EMPTY v pdfformsvol - DISABLED CLEAN 734003200 SELECT - fsgen pl pdfformsvol-01 pdfformsvol DISABLED STALE 734003200 CONCAT - RW sd ccs-data09-01 pdfformsvol-01 ccsdr8 0 209641216 0 disk_3 ENA sd ccsdr11-01 pdfformsvol-01 ccsdr11 0 209641216 209641216 disk_4 ENA sd ccsdr18-01 pdfformsvol-01 ccsdr18 0 231182080 419282432 disk_15 ENA sd ccsdr7-03 pdfformsvol-01 ccsdr7 796998400 59966464 650464512 disk_19 ENA sd ccsdr12-03 pdfformsvol-01 ccsdr12 157814272 23572224 710430976 disk_5 ENA
What is the best way to get this volume cleaned out so I can start restoring the files from tape? disk_19 is the one that was replaced and (long story) it was a raid 0 lun...
Thanks

Just run:
mkfs -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/ccs-data/pdfformsvol
To create a new filesystem

Force start volume:
vxvol -g ccs-data -f start pdfformsvol
then you can make filesystem on volume and then restore files from tape.

Mike,
Thanks for the response. The command worked with no errors but when I run an fsck, I still get this:
# fsck -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/ccs-data/pdfformsvol UX:vxfs fsck: WARNING: V-3-20836: file system had I/O error(s) on meta-data. log replay in progress log replay failed to clean file system file system is not clean, full fsck required full file system check required, exiting ...
If I just try to mount it I get this:
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-21268: /dev/vx/dsk/ccs-data/pdfformsvol is corrupted. needs checking
I ran the full file system check for the last few weeks. It is relinking inodes at a rate of one every 17 seconds and based on the current inode number, it won't be done until Dec 4, 2015 so I just need to clear the data somehow and restore.

Yes! That is what I needed to do. Probably the most ovbious thing in hindsight but I haven't worked with "fixing" problems with the volumes.
Thanks for your help on this!
