Veritas volume is not mirroring due to mismatch plex and volume size

An unusual problem where Plex length and volume size is different. i was trying to mirror this particular volume but getting error. volume had below status:
BEFORE:
v  DXarchive90d -            ENABLED  ACTIVE   419430400 SELECT   -        fsgen
pl DXarchive90d-01 DXarchive90d ENABLED ACTIVE 418426880 CONCAT   -        RW
sd asmm7_8-01   DXarchive90d-01 asmm7_8 0      167270400 0        usp006_21 ENA
sd asmm7_9-01   DXarchive90d-01 asmm7_9 0      167270400 167270400 usp006_19 ENA
sd asmm7_10-01  DXarchive90d-01 asmm7_20 0     83886080 334540800 usp006_9 ENA
can be seen Plex and volume size has difference of 1003520 sectors.
  • Now while trying to add mirror plex it throws error.
vxassist -v -b -g asmm7 mirror DXarchive90d layout=mirror-concat alloc=”asmm7_21m asmm7_22m asmm7_23″
root:XXXXX:/root # VxVM vxplex ERROR V-5-1-1204 Volume DXarchive90d has no complete plexes, cannot attach
VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-502 Could not attach new mirror(s) to volume DXarchive90d
  • Tried with low level command for attaching the plex but no luck:(root:XXXX:/root # vxplex -g asmm7 att DXarchive90d DXarchive90d-02
    VxVM vxplex ERROR V-5-1-4035 Plex DXarchive90d-02 would be a sparse plex of Volume DXarchive90d
    use -o force to force the operation root:XXXXX:/root # vxplex -g asmm7 -o force att DXarchive90d DXarchive90d-02
    VxVM vxplex ERROR V-5-1-1204 Volume DXarchive90d has no complete plexes, cannot attach
  • Then tried to match the Plex size and volume size.root:XXXXXX:/root # vxmake -g asmm7 sd asmm7_10-04 asmm7_10,0,1003520
    root:XXXXXX:/root # vxsd -g asmm7 assoc DXarchive90d-01 asmm7_10-04
    And it worked:)
    v  DXarchive90d -            ENABLED  ACTIVE   419430400 SELECT   -        fsgen
    pl DXarchive90d-01 DXarchive90d ENABLED ACTIVE 419430400 CONCAT   -        RW

    sd asmm7_10-04  DXarchive90d-01 asmm7_10 0     1003520  418426880 usp006_16 ENA
  • Then mirrored the volume.

Understanding How ZFS Calculates Used Space

This document explains how ZFS calculates the amount of used space within a zpool and provides examples of how various ZFS features affect that calculation. DETAILS A ZFS storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for datasets such as filesystems, snapshots and volumes. A zfs pool can be used as a filesystem, i.e. such as mounting/unmounting; to take snapshots that provides read-only (clones are writable copies of snapshots) copies of the filesystem taken in the past; to create volumes that can be accessed as a raw and a block device and for setting properties on datasets. Interaction of all these datasets and associated properties such as quotas, reservations, compression and deduplication (Solaris 11 only) play a role in how ZFS calculates space usage. Neither the du nor df command have been updated to account for ZFS file system space usage. When calculating zfs space usage, always use the following command. # zfs list -r -o space <pool_name...

How To Verify Remote System Controller (RSC) is Configured and Current on Sun Fire[TM] 280R/V480/V490/V880/V890 servers

Steps to Follow: How To Verify Remote System Controller(RSC) is Configured and Current 1.Check to see if the RSC software is already installed. # /usr/bin/pkginfo | grep SUNWrsc 2.If the software is installed the command should output the package name and info.   The version of the package installed in Solaris should match the version of firmware installed on the card.   `rscadm version` in Solaris will display the firmware version. 3.If the software is not installed the packages can be found on the supplemental CD that came with the Solaris Operating Environment. If you do not have the CD the software can be downloaded from MOS: RSC 2.2.2 is supported with Solaris 10, but you need to get this from a supplemental CD (for Solaris 9, since there is no supplemental CD for S10). The packages for Solaris 8 and 9 (and later) are both in the zip file. There are two options of the zip file, 32bit, and 64bit, but they both have the same checksums, so there are...
