    Having an issue on new server using glvm when trying to pull missing drive back in. Servers were synced and lv's and pv's all open/sync. Repointed rpvclient to none and then moved backup server to remote site. Backup server is running only one rpvserver and its pointing to correct address on main site:
    rpvserver drive is hdisk2 on backup:
    1. lsattr -El rpvserver0
    auto_online y Configure at System Boot True
    client_addr 10.0.2.17 Client IP Address True
    rpvs_pvid 00c21b557bd495bb0000000000000000 Physical Volume Identifier True
    1. lsrpvserver
    rpvserver0 00c21b557bd495bb hdisk2
    1. lsdev -Ccrpvserver
    rpvserver0 Available Remote Physical Volume Server
    1. lsdev -Ccdisk
    hdisk0 Available 01-08-00 SAS Disk Drive
    hdisk1 Available 01-08-00 SAS Disk Drive
    hdisk2 Available 01-08-00 SAS RAID 5 Disk Array
    rpv is up and listening:
    1. netstat -a |grep rpv
    tcp 0 0 *.rpv . LISTEN
    Main site is 10.0.2.17

    Looking at main site:
    hdisk3 is the rpvclient
    1. lsattr -El hdisk3
    io_timeout 180 I/O Timeout Interval True
    local_addr 10.0.2.17 Local IP Address (Network 1) True
    local_addr2 none Local IP Address (Network 2) True
    local_addr3 none Local IP Address (Network 3) True
    local_addr4 none Local IP Address (Network 4) True
    pvid 00c21b557bd495bb0000000000000000 Physical Volume Identifier True
    server_addr 10.2.21.12 Server IP Address (Network 1) True
    server_addr2 none Server IP Address (Network 2) True
    server_addr3 none Server IP Address (Network 3) True
    server_addr4 none
    backup site is 10.2.21.12 and is reachable via ping and other services. rpv is in the services

    1. lspv hdisk3

    I do a resume:
    1. chdev -l hdisk3 -a resume=yes
    hdisk3 changed
    When I try to make it available I get:
    1. chpv -v a hdisk3

    Drive remains missing. I do a varyonvg and still stays missing. Now - this drive was never in rootvg and there is nothing associated with it in rootvg and it was sync'd as of yesterday. Why is it looking at paging? lppchk -v is consistent an we updated Friday to the latest fix package for 7.1.

    1. lsvg -l datavg
    datavg:

    I notied that the chpv is different than our other systems on 7.1 below ML 02. I noticed that it spits out 7 lines - same number of LV's on the drive. Anyone else have this issue. Looks like the new chpv may have a parsing issue.
    Thanks for any help you can give.
