If you're going to just drop out LDEV 1 as a failed drive, you can change the primary path to point to 10/4/24.5 and do the install and restore to it.
That's if all your data will fit on 9Gig. Fortunately, with 7.5 it will allow LDEV 1 to be the full drive capacity instead of 4Gig.
In any case, it's a build from scratch, John.

Anytime you have *any* drive fail in the SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET, you have to do
an INSTALL and a RESTORE after you replace the failed drive. It doesn't
matter which LDEV it is. Because the file spreading that MPE does to all
drives in the set.

Paul,
There was a previous mail about recovery from a dead ldev 2, where there is
a working ldev 1 to install onto.....with a dead ldev 1 being replaced, it
will need formatting and naming etc before it can be installed onto , wont
it ? Whats the likely sequence of commands in this case was my question.
Regards,
John Pitman

John, anytime you have any drive fail in the SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET, you have to
do an INSTALL and a RESTORE after you replace the failed drive. Under 7.5
you can use a 9gb drive for LDEV 1 and MPE will use all the space on it.
The commands don't tell you anything but reading the drive information off
of the SCSI board on the drive. But it will tell you at least the SCSI
interface is probably OK since it can read the board.
I don't understand your "dead ldev 2" question.

We have a k959-400 (on 7.5) in Penang, and after a proper power down we seem
to have lost a disc - startup gives WARN A008 - which I think translates to
no bootable device found.
SEA gives what looks like correct, and PA also looks OK. This doesn't prove
anything about drive condition does it? I would be very surprised if there
is a SCSI issue...?
How will the recovery here differ from the case of a dead ldev 2 - no ldev 1
to install onto ? I have an SLT, there should be another on site, and data
backups. Our other K959 has a 4.5gb ldev 1 and a 9.1gb ldev 2 - if this one
is the same, there shouldn't be any issue with replacing the 4.5 with a
9.1gb should there?
Now that I look at the other K959, the IO list shows ldev1=ST34573N and
LDEV2 as ST39175LC, but discfree shows both with a device size of 35547040,
which looks like 9gb to me.....
Thanks all
Regards,
John Pitman
