    Recently had to replace a failed mirror disk on the rootvg but all seemed to go well with that.  All lv everywhere seem to show two copies and a good mirror and nothing is stale.

     

    I cannot figure out what the problem is with this:

     

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    LABEL:          LVM_NOMIRRCOPIES
    IDENTIFIER:     28D33163

    Date/Time:       Sat Jul 13 10:07:11 CDT 2019
    Sequence Number: 3226437
    Node Id:         p520
    Class:           H
    Type:            UNKN
    WPAR:            Global
    Resource Name:   LVDD            
    Resource Class:  NONE
    Resource Type:   NONE
    Location:        

    Description
    No mirror copies were available to read from.


    Probable Causes
    All mirror copies are stale


    Detail Data
    MAJOR/MINOR DEVICE NUMBER
    8000 000A 0000 000C 
    BLOCK NUMBER
                   1394704
    Logical Volume Scheduling Policy
               2
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any pointers appreciated.

    The major/minor device number will tell you what lvm object is being referred to.  In the errpt, the values are in hex.  In /dev, the values are in decimal.  I'm fairly sure that the device you want to look at is major 000A = 11, and minor 000C = 13.  These values should be in the 5th and 6th column of a long listing of /dev.

    I'm assuming that this is a production system, so I would highly encourage you to call IBM Support...

    But why isn't the dev 000A = 10, 000C = 12?
