Module Replacement Procedures
If the conditions above are met, you can replace the DF disk module while the host is operating. To know which replacement and recovery procedure to use, you must:
1.Determine if the volume group is active. See “DF Disk Module - Is the Volume Group or Physical Volume Group Active? (HP 9000 Series 800 with Strict Mirroring)”.
∙If the volume group is active, determine if the physical volume is attached. See “DF Disk Module - Is the Physical Volume Attached? (HP 9000 Series 800 with Strict Mirroring)”.
∙If the volume group is not active, follow the procedure under “DF Disk Module Replacement/Recovery Procedure for Unattached Physical Volumes (HP 9000 Series 800 with Strict Mirroring)”.
2.Determine if the physical volume (replaced disk module) is attached.
∙If the physical volume (replaced disk module) is attached, follow the procedure under “DF Disk Module Replacement/Recovery Procedure for Attached Physical Volumes (HP 9000 Series 800 with Strict Mirroring)”.
∙If the physical volume is not attached, follow the procedure under “DF Disk Module Replacement/Recovery Procedure for Unattached Physical Volumes (HP 9000 Series 800 with Strict Mirroring)”.
Example of a Disk Module FailureUse the example in Table 12 of a disk module failure to see the types of messages the host may display while using LVM utility commands. The DF replacement/recovery procedures base their example messages on the hardware addresses or device files shown below.
Volume group /dev/vg00 contains three discs, with the logical volume configuration shown below:
