recovery from RVG is disabled

    sometims your RVG cannot be started anyway, and the “vxprint –Vl” shows something like

    “kernel=DISABLED”

    In my case, the srl volume status is NEEDSYNC, that makes the RVG cannot be started, so repair the srl volume with following instructions:

1.  Dissociate SRL:

# vxvol -g vrdg -f dis vvrsrl

vxvm:vxvol: WARNING: Rvg rvg1 needs recovery. Volume being dissociated may not be up-to-date

2.  Stop the SRL:

# vxvol -g vrdg stop vvrsrl

3.  Start the SRL. It will take some time for the SRL to resynchronize.  You can run vxtask list from another window to monitor progress.

# vxvol start vvrsrl

4.  Re-associate the SRL:

# vxvol -g vrdg aslog rvg1 vvrsrl

5.  Recover the RVG:

# vxrecover -g vrdg -s

6.  Start the RVG:

# vxrvg start rvg1

发现卷的状态变成detached,尝试start volumn

root@com00biiacc002:~ #> vxvol -g COM2_DATA_DG start COM_DATA_2_dcl
VxVM vxvol ERROR V-5-1-1198 Volume COM_DATA_2_dcl has no CLEAN or non-volatile ACTIVE plexes

start volumn不成功，因为不是clean或active的plex. 下面查看一下dg状态信息

root@com00biiacc002:~ #> vxinfo -g COM2_DATA_DG
COM_DATA_2     fsgen    Started
COM_DATA_2_dcl gen      Unstartable

发现COM_DATA_2_dcl 是unstartable的卷。尝试将COM_DATA_2_dcl的plex设置为clean状态。

root@com00biiacc002:~ #> vxmend -g COM2_DATA_DG fix clean COM_DATA_2_dcl-01
VxVM vxmend ERROR V-5-1-854 Plex COM_DATA_2_dcl-01 not in STALE state

根据提示将plex设置为stale状态。

再次尝试start volumn.

VxVM vxvol ERROR V-5-1-1198 Volume COM_DATA_2_dcl has no CLEAN or non-volatile ACTIVE plexes

由于plex不是clean或active状态而无法start volumn. 将plex设置为clean状态。
root@com00biiacc002:~ #>
root@com00biiacc002:~ #> vxmend -g COM2_DATA_DG fix clean COM_DATA_2_dcl-01

start volumn.
root@com00biiacc002:~ #> vxvol -g COM2_DATA_DG start COM_DATA_2_dcl
