DF Disk Module - Is the Volume Group or Physical Volume Group Active? (HP 9000 Series 800 with Strict Mirroring)

Use this procedure to determine if the volume group and physical volume group is active:

1.At the host console type:

# vgdisplay <VG name>

If you followed the example under “Example of a Disk Module Failure”, the host will display:

# vgdisplay /dev/vg00

If the volume group is not active, the host will display:

#vgdisplay: volume group not active

#vgdisplay: cannot display volume group <VG name>

2.If the disk was defective when vgchange was executed, the following messages will be displayed:

VGDISPLAY:WARNING: COULDN'T QUERY PHYSICAL VOLUME “/DEV/DSK/c2t4d0”

THE SPECIFIED PATH DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO PHYSICAL VOLUME ATTACHED TO THE VOLUME GROUP

VGDISPLAY: WARNING: COULDN'T QUERY ALL OF THE PHYSICAL VOLUMES

If the message above displays, the physical volume is not active. Refer to “DF Disk Module Replacement/Recovery Procedure for Unattached Physical Volumes (HP 9000 Series 800 with Strict Mirroring)”.

If the message above does not display, the physical volume is active. Refer to “DF Disk Module -: Is the Physical Volume Attached? (HP 9000 Series 800 with Strict Mirroring)”.
