19 Jul 22 Disk issues on HP-UX
So you are having disk problems:
Scenario 1:
You need to build a logical volume on a disk that is in the kernel. You have other issues that will not let you completely replace /etc/lvmtab
mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.save
vgscan -av
You need that disk number 967 to change.
ioscan -NfnCdisk shows the offending device files
/dev/disk/disk967
/dev/rdisk/disk967
64000/0xfa00/0x102
What to do?
Force the system to hand out new device files.
rmsf /dev/rdisk/disk967
rmsf /dev/disk/disk967
rmsf -H 64000/0xfa00/0x102
scsimgr -h lun_reset -D /dev/rdisk/disk967
insf -e
Possible alternative:
vgreduce -f /dev/vgname
Trick of the day if you are seing flapping on the SAN. Such as a scenario where deices are giong on and ofline.
ioscan -fN | wc -l ## Gets you a count.
drop the wc -l and you get a pretty detailed look at the HBA/SAN/disk infrastructure.
ioscan -fN

28 Nov 17 An xpinfo that works in hpvm guests and on non Hitachi storage
Hitachi shops faced annoyance times two:
1. xpinfo does not work on non-Hitachi storage for example Pure storage
2. xpinfo does not work on hpvm guests depending on how the storage is passed through from the hpvm host
I now present xpinfonew which though raw and unfnished
The output:
myserv0:root > ./xpinfonew

24 Jul 15 Single user vg00 reconfiguration for a san boot hp-ux system
San boot system.
HBA has to be replaced.
Then you have to boot single user mode to re-establish all your paths.
Procedure authored by my colleague Mahesh Koduru
Before you start make sure you have a current map file hosted on root filesystem.
“Reboot the server and follow these steps :
Interrupt the boot and boot the system in maintenance mode.
fs0:\EFI\HPUX> hpux
HPUX> boot -lm –lq vmunix This will bring the System into Maintance mod
#vgdisplay vg00 The VG should be in deactivated Mod
#ll /dev/*/group Collect the Group file
#vgexport -p -s -m vg00.map /dev/vg00 Keep the Map file in present directory , ie root
# ll vg00.map
#vgexport -v /dev/vg00
#mkdir -m 755 /dev/vg00
#mknod /dev/vg00/group c 64 0x030000 ##This is an example your major/minor number may vary
#vgimport -s -N -m vg00.map /dev/vg00 ## The -N is B.11.31 only to convert to agile storage
#vgchange -a y vg00
#mount -a Mount only Root filesystems
#setboot Check and correct setboot issues
#lvlnboot -v vg00 Check and correct lvlnboot issues , lvrmboot command can be used if needed
#/usr/sbin/lvlnboot -v
# lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00 Execute for fixing Boot Labels
# lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
# lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
# lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
# lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
# lvlnboot -v
# lvlnboot -R
Note: Comment the swap in fstab and then issue below command.
# shutdown -ry 0

30 Apr 15 Quick guide to configuring secondary hp-ux swap
I always have to look at Google for this.
To make this site more comprehensive, here it is.
disk5 is designated as swap disk, size 128 GB. Server has 64 GB of RAM.
pvcreate /dev/rdisk/disk5
vgcreate -p 10 -l 10 /dev/vgswap /dev/disk/disk5
vgdisplay /dev/vgswap

26 Feb 14 scsimgr task: removing a LUN
scsimgr is the tool of choice for getting rid of storage that is in the HP-UX kernel and the underlying storage has been pulled by your storage administrator. In this case the lun has been marked as FAILED.
HP-UX 11.31, any Operating Environment, though these tasks go easier if the OE is more current.

scsimgr replace_wwid -D /dev/rdisk/disk3436
echo $?
Zero is good, non-zero probably means you are booting.
