Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 Release Notes HP-UX 11i v3 (5992-1952, August 2011)

Workaround
No workaround exists for this problem.
• Problem
You cannot use the vxvol command to set site consistency on a volume unless sites and site
consistency have first been set up for the disk group.
Workaround
No workaround exists for this problem.
• Problem
Adding a remote mirror to a new site for a site-consistent volume does not also create a DRL
log plex or a DCO plex at that site.
Workaround
Use the vxassist addlog command to add a DRL log plex, or the vxsnap command to
add a version 20 DCO plex at the specified site (site=sitename).
• Problem
Site records are not propagated during the disk group split, move or join operations.
These operations fail on a source disk group that has any site-confined volumes. This is because
site records cannot be propagated to a target disk group during such operations.
Following is one of the following messages displayed as a result of a failed disk group split,
join or move operation:
There are volume(s) with allsites flag which do not have a plex
on site sitename. Use -f flag to move all such the volumes
turning off allsites flag on them.
The volume(s) with allsites flags are being moved to the target
disk group that doesn't have any site records. Use -f flag to
add all such volumes turning off allsites flag on them.
Workaround
Ensure that the allsites parameter is set to off on all the volumes that are being moved
between disk groups. Complete the following steps:
1. Run the following command on each of the volumes that is being moved, split or joined
to find out if the allsites parameter is set to on on any of them.
# vxprint -g diskgroup -F %allsites volume
2. Run the following command on each of the volumes for which the allsites parameter
was set to on:
# vxvol -g diskgroup set allsites=off volume
3. Complete the disk group split, join, or move operation.
• Problem
The vxmake command can be used to recreate a disk group configuration, but not to restore
site records.
Workaround
After restoring a disk group configuration, run the following command to recreate the site
records manually:
# vxdg -g diskgroup addsite site
• Problem
It is not possible to replace a failed disk while its site is detached.
