This is an improvement to fixing the problems if you do blow things up. Click here to see.

Here is the thing. VXvM is messed up on HP-UX. The mirror break command is broken on 11.23 and 11.31.

That being said depending on how you use it, you can have a mess to clean up or not.

Scenario:

[shmuel01]/root # vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c2t0d0 auto:hpdisk rootdisk02 rootdg online failing
c2t1d0 auto:hpdisk rootdisk01 rootdg online failing

…

Note the disks are supposedly failing. Easy fix, though I can’t say how long this will last.

[shmuel01]/root # vxedit -g rootdg set failing=off rootdisk01
[shmuel01]/root # vxedit -g rootdg set failing=off rootdisk02

Now we look at them.

[shmuel01]/root # vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c2t0d0 auto:hpdisk rootdisk02 rootdg online
c2t1d0 auto:hpdisk rootdisk01 rootdg online

Now they are fixed.

Now to the heart of the matter. Lets say you want to break c2t0d0 out of the mirror and say make a drd image. The man page and HP support says you can use this form.

/etc/vx/bin/vxbrk_rootmir -g rootdg -vb c2t0d0

If you use that form on many HP-UX systems the mirror break will fail and you will have a mess to clean up. If you want to prove your skills go ahead and use that form and click the link above to find the fix.

If you would rather look smart and say cruise the Internet, do this form.

/etc/vx/bin//vxbrk_rootmir -g rootdg -vb rootdisk02

You get the following UGLY results.

[shmuel01]/root # /etc/vx/bin//vxbrk_rootmir -g rootdg -vb rootdisk02
VxVM vxbrk_rootmir INFO V-5-2-4023 14:23: Checking specified disk(s) for presence and type

VxVM vxbrk_rootmir ERROR V-5-2-4020 Attempting to recreate volume meta-data on rootdisk02/c2t0d0

However the only thing that actually goes wrong is removing the disk rootdisk02 from the roodg.

Easily fixed with a single command.

vxdg -g rootdg rmdisk rootdisk02

vxdisk list shows:

[shmuel01]/root # vxdisk list

Take note of the fcmsutil output below. One of the fiber cards has failed here.

We became aware of the problem due to a resmon message and errors generated on the SAN side.

This requires add in software from Veritas/Symmantec that can be expensive on HP-UX.

Lets say we want to extend /var which is lvol8.

It was originally 600 LE and we extended it as follows.

lvextend -l 800 /dev/vg00/lvol8 /dev/disk/disk25_p2

The 800 refers to LE logical extents. I prefer to use this rather than MB because it corresponds to the values displayed by most lvm utilities. -L <value in megabytes> can be used. I assume you can do the math here.

[system099]/root # lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol8
— Logical volumes —
LV Name                     /dev/vg00/lvol8
VG Name                     /dev/vg00
LV Permission               read/write
LV Status                   available/syncd
Mirror copies               1
Consistency Recovery        MWC

Stripes                     0
Stripe Size (Kbytes)        0
Bad block                   on

It was originally 600 LE and we extended it as follows.

lvextend -l 800 /dev/vg00/lvol8 /dev/disk/disk25_p2

fsadm -F vxfs -b 12800M /var

This command will use online JFS to extend the filesystem. The alternative is extendfs. But that requires a umount.  Or perhaps xvumount -o force. Your choice, I don’t recommend it, but did test it the other day in the sandbox.

Now if you want to be cute and use all your space, try this.

SIZE=$(lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol8 | awk ‘/LV Size/ {print $NF}’);

ESIZE=”${SIZE}M”

fsadm -F vxfs -b $ESIZE /var

You can get more cute and do it with a single command line but I’m not going to do that. I have not broken any systems this week and am trying to avoid that.

Scenario:

vxvm boot system shut down decommissioned. It was left off for over a year. Hardware is needed. System is brought up.

Now you have rootdisk2 part of the boot disk group and to do anything useful you need to clean it up.

Get data:

vxprint -ht -g rootdg

I thought to write this only after I was done. So I don’t have a before state picture.

vxdg -g rootdg rmdisk rootdisk02

Getting rid of the sub disks (BE CAREFUL)

I’ve just been through another frustrating battle with swinstall and wanted a complete what to check list in the event that it won’t install software:

1. Check that system ip address (ifconfig lan#) is the same as defined in /etc/hosts . If this is not consistent, swinstall will not work and the error message is far from meaningful.
2. Check that /etc/nsswitch.conf exists. After a clean install it does not exist and needs to be put in place.
3. Check that nfs is working correctly for nfs based install. Bounce nfs.client,nfs.server,nfs.core in that order to stop reverse order to start ex /sbin/init.d/nfs.core <start/stop>
4. Use showmount -e <remotehost> to insure connectivity to remote depots.
5. swlist -l depot -s <remote host depot>
6. swreg -d depot $PWD on remote host after cd to depot. Remember in many scenarios remote depots in tape format will not install.
7. /usr/sbin/swagentd -r (Should be taken after any of the above corrective steps).

Lets say we have a file system mounted as /stuck

umount /stuck

Mount Point busy.

fuser -cu /stuck

# shows no open processes on the filesystem. umount won’t work.

umount has no documented -f (force) paramter

vxumount is the tool of choice here.

vxumount -o force /stuck

/stuck is no longer stuck

vxmount is not always in the PATH. It is something worth searching for and is available on most HP-UX systems.

Only works on vxfs file systems, not HFS or NFS.

Ever try and do system reporting based on bdf?

Annoying as all heck that sometimes the output is two line and sometimes one? I was forced to solve that problem today.

This post was a long time coming. It was posted to a powerpoint presentation years ago. Nine years ago to be exact.

Older versions of HP-UX 11.11,11.23 and 11.31 do suffer from the OnlineJFS license disabling itself. This was due to a product defect from Symanntec which HP let into a depot a few years ago.

System had this license information:
