# hpux replace mirror disks # work

UNIX : Replace/Mirror disks with no downtime on HPUX

This tutorial is simple, to replace disks on a server, without a downtime (live) , so mirroring is done to copy data from old disks to new disks  and release the old disks to SAN. I trust you have taken the necessary steps to an ignite, health check, backup, Change Request, etc. Tested on HPUX 11.23

We start by adding new mirror disks to the server

Create a PV for all newly added LUN. We use the raw character of a disk whenever we're adding new a disk to a server. I highlighted this in yellow

super22:/etc# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c44t10d2
Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c44t10d2" has been successfully created.

super22:/etc# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c45t10d2

super22:/etc# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c44t10d3

super22:/etc# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c45t10d3

super22:/etc# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c45t10d4

super22:/etc# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c44t10d5
Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c44t10d5" has been successfully created.

super22:/etc# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c45t10d5

1) Append in the /etc/lvmpvg and add the new mirror disks. Note that I have not used the raw device character when adding disk to lvmpvg

/dev/dsk/c44t10d2
/dev/dsk/c44t10d3
/dev/dsk/c44t10d4

/dev/dsk/c44t10d5

2) We then extend VG vgSPAN with the new mirror disks

While mirroring is going on, to check the status of mirror-because it takes time, run this command

# lvdisplay -v /dev/vgSPAN/lvolx |grep stale|wc -l

The number of stale PE will decline and when it hits zero that's when you know mirroring has completed 

5. Once all the 5 LVs have been mirrored, you remove/un-mirror the old LUNs from all the five LVs of VG vgSPAN

Running lvreduce command can be tricky, and an error is bound to happen if you don't remove all the disks together in a single command line. If that happens don't panic. There's always a way to reverse engineer a bit

Say for an example I was suppose to remove 6 disks but I only removed 4, so I have to mirror back these disks into the LV it was removed from, and THEN UN-MIRROR them together

5.1. Identify 4 disks not used by lvol1 of VG vgSPAN:

/dev/dsk/c33t8d2 /dev/dsk/c35t8d3 /dev/dsk/c33t8d4 /dev/dsk/c35t8d5

5.2. Mirror the 4 disks to LVOL1 back:

lvextend -m 1 /dev/vgSPAN/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c33t8d2 /dev/dsk/c35t8d3 /dev/dsk/c33t8d4 /dev/dsk/c35t8d5

5.3. Check the mirror sync status:

lvdisplay /dev/vgSPAN/lvol1 |egrep "LV Status|Mirror copies"


5.4. Un-mirror all 6 disks together in a single command line:


lvreduce -m 0 /dev/vgSPAN/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c33t8d6 /dev/dsk/c35t8d7 /dev/dsk/c44t10d2 /dev/dsk/c44t10d3 /dev/dsk/c44t10d4  /dev/dsk/c44t10d5

####################################################################

6. Make sure all the LVs' mirror copy is 0

super22:/root# lvdisplay /dev/vgSPAN/lvol1 |egrep "LV Status|Mirror copies"
LV Status                   available/syncd           
Mirror copies               0
super22:/root# lvdisplay /dev/vgSPAN/lvol2 | egrep "LV Status|Mirror copies"
LV Status                   available/syncd           
Mirror copies               0            
spthpn22:/root#

super22:/root# lvdisplay /dev/vgSPAN/lvol3 |egrep "LV Status|Mirror copies"
LV Status                   available/syncd           
Mirror copies               0            
spthpn22:/root# 

super22:/root#  lvdisplay /dev/vgSPAN/lvol4 |egrep "LV Status|Mirror copies"
LV Status                   available/syncd           
Mirror copies               0            
spthpn22:/root# 

super22:/root#  lvdisplay /dev/vgSPAN/lvol5 |egrep "LV Status|Mirror copies"

7. Remove/release old LUN from vgSPAN

# vgreduce vgSPAN /dev/dsk/c33t8d2 /dev/dsk/c35t8d2 /dev/dsk/c35t8d3 /dev/dsk/c33t8d3 /dev/dsk/c33t8d4 /dev/dsk/c35t8d4 /dev/dsk/c35t8d5 /dev/dsk/c33t8d5 /dev/dsk/c33t8d6 /dev/dsk/c35t8d6  /dev/dsk/c35t8d7 /dev/dsk/c33t8d7   

        

# vgreduce vgSPAN /dev/dsk/c44t9d4 /dev/dsk/c45t9d4 /dev/dsk/c44t9d5 /dev/dsk/c45t9d5 /dev/dsk/c44t9d6 /dev/dsk/c45t9d6 /dev/dsk/c44t9d7 /dev/dsk/c45t9d7 /dev/dsk/c44t10d0 /dev/dsk/c45t10d0 /dev/dsk/c44t10d1 /dev/dsk/c45t10d1

8. Remove the old disks entries from /etc/lvmpvg 

PVG     PVG0
/dev/dsk/c33t8d2
/dev/dsk/c35t8d3
/dev/dsk/c33t8d4
/dev/dsk/c35t8d5

/dev/dsk/c35t8d7

/dev/dsk/c44t9d6
/dev/dsk/c44t9d7
/dev/dsk/c44t10d0
/dev/dsk/c44t10d1

9.  Issue "rmsf /dev/dsk/cXtXdX" on following disks to completely remove them from the server

rmsf /dev/dsk/c33t8d2
rmsf /dev/dsk/c35t8d2 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c35t8d3
rmsf /dev/dsk/c33t8d3 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c33t8d4
rmsf /dev/dsk/c35t8d4 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c35t8d5
rmsf /dev/dsk/c33t8d5 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c33t8d6
rmsf /dev/dsk/c35t8d6 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c35t8d7
rmsf /dev/dsk/c33t8d7 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c44t9d4
rmsf /dev/dsk/c45t9d4 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c44t9d5
rmsf /dev/dsk/c45t9d5 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c44t9d6
rmsf /dev/dsk/c45t9d6 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c44t9d7
rmsf /dev/dsk/c45t9d7 
rmsf /dev/dsk/c44t10d0
rmsf /dev/dsk/c45t10d0
rmsf /dev/dsk/c44t10d1
rmsf /dev/dsk/c45t10d1

10. Alternatively, you can use the commands rmsf -H H/W PATH instead of the rmsf /dev/dsk/XXX

11. Return the LUNs to SAN team
