Hi -L Gang,

I had a mirrored disk drive in a Jamaica Enclosure go bad yesterday.  The 
DSTAT below shows that it went into a 'BUSY' state, and nothing short of a 
reboot could clear it.

:dstat

 LDEV-TYPE            STATUS    VOLUME           VOLUME SET - GEN
 ----------           -------   ----------------------------------
   33-ST34572WC       MASTER-MD MEMBER2          IT_UV-0
   34-ST39236LC       MASTER-MD MEMBER1          IT_UV-0
   43-ST34572WC                **BUSY
   44-ST39175LC       MASTER-MD MEMBER1          IT_UV-0

After/During the reboot, I replaced the drive.  When the system went 
thru "Mount All Volumes" it complained about a duplicate volume, but I had to 
wait for the system to come up completely to try to deal with that.

At that point, the system now shows these drives in the following state:

:dstat

 LDEV-TYPE            STATUS    VOLUME           VOLUME SET - GEN
 ----------           -------   ----------------------------------
   33-ST34572WC     *PENDING-MD MEMBER2          IT_UV-0
   34-ST39236LC       MASTER-MD MEMBER1          IT_UV-0
   43-ST34572WC       UNKNOWN
   44-ST39175LC       MASTER-MD MEMBER1          IT_UV-0


I then try a SCRATCHVOL and get the following:

:volutil

 Mirvutil  A.70.02, (C) Hewlett-Packard Co., 1991. All Rights Reserved.
volutil: scratchvol 43
                    ^ 
*Error: Volume mounted in invalid state for desired operation. (volutil 122)
volutil:

I then try a FORMATVOL and get the following:

volutil: formatvol 43 
*Verify: Format volume on ldev 43 [Y/N] ?y

DISMOUNT REQUEST FOR LDEV 43 GRANTED (AVR 19)

it just hangs here..........

I can restore the data, so no issue there.

What I am unable at this point to do is resolve this partially mounted volume 
issue.

The system is an N4000-100-330 on 7.0 patched up-to-date.

TIA,
Dan
