Hello all,
A few days ago our FastT600 switch failed as a result we lost comunication between some aix servers. I was able to recover from all of them execpt for one. B80 server running AIX 4.3. When I run
lsdev -Cc disk I Get
hdisk0 Available 10-88-00-8,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 10-88-00-9,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk2 Available 10-68-01 Other FC SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk3 Available 10-68-01 Other FC SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk4 Available 10-68-01 fcparray Disk Array Device
hdisk5 Available 10-68-01 fcparray Disk Array Device

However, when I try to varyonvg I get this message
0516-013 varyonvg: The volume group cannot be varied on because
there are no good copies of the descriptor area.
PV Status: hdisk2 000ac56fcf1493e1 PVNOTFND
hdisk3 000ac56fcf149f5d PVNOTFND

I have remove dar0, dac0 fcs0 but still doent work. Any ideas anyone?
fget_config -Av does not work in AIX 4.3 I am running fget_config -l dar#

Thanks,.
 
Once you remove the hdisks, and the dar then the dacs, run cfgmgr. Next try to import the volume group. If you can remember which VG is on a disk then try to import the VG.
