When a disk has been repaired or replaced and is again ready for use, the plexes must be put back online (plex state set to ACTIVE
). To set the plexes to ACTIVE
, use one of the following procedures depending on the state of the volume.
ENABLED
, use the following command to reattach the plex:
# vxplex [-g
diskgroup] att
volume
plex ...
For example, for a plex named vol01-02
on a volume named vol01
in the disk group, mydg
, use the following command:
# vxplex -g mydg att vol01 vol01-02
As when returning an OFFLINE
plex to ACTIVE
, this command starts to recover the contents of the plex and, after the revive is complete, sets the plex utility state to ACTIVE
.
ENABLED
), use the following command to re-enable the plex for use:
# vxmend [-g
diskgroup] on
plex
For example, to re-enable a plex named vol01-02
in the disk group, mydg
, enter:
In this case, the state of vol01-02
is set to STALE
. When the volume is next started, the data on the plex is revived from another plex, and incorporated into the volume with its state set to ACTIVE
.
If the vxinfo
command shows that the volume is unstartable, set one of the plexes to CLEAN
using the following command:
# vxmend [-g
diskgroup] fix clean
plex
Start the volume using the following command:
