We had a drive crash in our environment. The drive was shared between two nodes in HACMP environment. The tech who replaced the drive didn't know what he is doing, so we ended up with the drive recognized on the first node, but not on the other.

If I do lscfg -vl hdisk4 on both nodes I can see that the serial number is the same for the drive, which means that the drive is recognized.

But if I do lspv hdisk4 on the second node, I am getting this error.

1. lspv hdisk4

0516-304 : Unable to find device id hdisk4 in the Device
Configuration Database.

My question is, what should I do to be able to see this drive from both nodes.Thanks for any help!

You may need to re-import the volume group that the disk belongs to on nodeB.

Have you tried that?

On the second node run cfgmgr, your new disk will pop up.

To add the new disk to your hacmp configuration once it's available from the both nodes, you have to create a pvid on the new : chdev -l hdiskX -a pvid=yes or chdev -l hdiskX -a pv=yes, I'not sure of the exact name for this argument
