VXVM Disk keep failing

[Zahid_Haseeb]

Environment

SFHA/DR = 5.1

#vxprint

dm AAA-DG02     san_vc0_1    -        213727216 -       FAILING  -       -

rv AAA-RVG      -            RECOVER  -        -        CLEAN    -       -

rl rlk_192.168.4.5_AAA-RVG AAA-RVG DETACHED -  -        STALE    -       -

#vxdisk list

san_vc0_1    auto:cdsdisk    AAA-DG02     AAA-DG       online failing

I did the following but the failing is not going

 vxedit -g AAA-DG set failing=off AAA-DG02

=========================

The Cluster nodes down due to power failure and when the DR Side node up I am facing the above problem. I assume that I have to replace the disk

Hi Zahid,

Correct, the failing flag is an indication of intermittent IO errors on the disk. If it happens to much it will transition to failed.

Problem resolved after node restarted. The node might started before the SAN.

In situations like these, you should troubleshoot at OS level.

/var/log/messages would in this case show you that SAN devices were not present at boot time.
