4.Logically remove the disk from the system (rmdev
5.Physically remove the failed disk and replace it with a new disk.
6.Add the disk to the ODM (mkdev or cfgmgr) on all nodes.
7.Add the disk to the shared volume group (extendvg).
8.Increase the number of LV copies to span across the new disk (mklvcopy).
9.Synchronize the volume group (syncvg)
Note
Steps 10 and 11 are only necessary in HACMP versions prior to 4.2. With HACMP 4.2 and later Lazy Update will export/import the volume group on the backup node in case of a takeover. However, it is necessary to update the PVID of the replaced disk on the backup nodes manually.
10.Stop all the application(s) using the shared volume group, varyoff the shared volume group and export/import it on the backup node(s). Furthermore set the characteristics of the shared volume group (autovaryon and quorum) on the backup node(s), then vary it off again.
11.Varyon the shared volume group on it’s “normal” node and start the application(s).
8.3.3.3Disk Replacement
1.Identify which disk has failed using errpt, lspv, lsvg, diag.
2.Remove all LV copies from the failed disk (smit cl_lvsc).
3.Remove the disk from the VG (smit cl_vgsc).
4.Logically remove the disk from the system (rmdev
5.Physically remove the failed disk and replace it with a new disk.
6.Add the new disk to the ODM (mkdev or cfgmgr).
7.Add the new disk to the sharedvg (smit cl_vgsc).
8.Increase the number of LV copies to span across the new disk (smit cl_lvsc).
