Recovering from the failure of vxsnap restore
If a vxsnap restore operation fails, the volume being restored may go into the
DISABLED state.
To recover from the failure of the vxsnap restore command
◆
Type the following command:
# vxvol [-g diskgroup] start volume
Recovering from the failure of vxsnap reattach or
refresh
If a vxsnap reattach or refresh operation fails, the volume being refreshed may
go into the DISABLED state, be marked invalid and be rendered unstartable.
To recover from the failure of the vxsnap reattach or refresh commands
1
Use the following command to check that the inst_invalid flag is set to on:
# vxprint [-g diskgroup] -F%inst_invalid volume
2
Use the vxmend command to clear the volume’s tutil0 field:
# vxmend [-g diskgroup] clear tutil0 volume
3
Use the vxsnap command to dissociate the volume from the snapshot
hierarchy:
# vxsnap [-g diskgroup] dis volume
4
Use the following command to start the volume:
# vxvol [-g diskgroup] start volume
5
Re-run the failed reattach or refresh command.
This results in a full resynchronization of the volume. Alternatively, remove
the snapshot volume and recreate it if required.
