================================
Section 1
Installing the VxVM 3.2 P5 Patch
================================
 
NOTE: Unlike the VxVM 3.1.1 patch, this same VxVM 3.2 P5 patch can 
be used on all VxVM 3.2 localized releases.
 
For Solaris 9 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions on
using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
        example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/112385-06
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
        example# patchrm 112385-06
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.
 
NOTE: You need to use the shutdown command to reboot the system after patch
installation or de-installation:
 
shutdown -g0 -y -i6
 
NOTE: Installation of VxVM 3.2 P5 involves stopping/starting
vxconfigd multiple times. If VM is not configured prior to
installation of VxVM 3.2 P5, you might see the follwing message:
 
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: enable failed: Volboot file not loaded
        transactions are disabled.
 
 
1.1 Required Sun Patches
None.
 
1.2 Prepare to Install the Patch
 
NOTE:
If you have not yet installed Volume Manager 3.2, you need 
to follow the sequence of events:
 
1. Run pkgadd 3.2s9
2. Run patchadd (see 1.3, below)
3. Run vxinstall
 
Do NOT run vxinstall before running patchadd.
 
Also, before running patchadd or patchrm, you need to:
   -shutdown any application that is accessing the volumes
   -unmount any mounted volumes.
 
To do this, you:
   # umountall
   # vxdctl stop
   # vxiod -f set 0
 
1.3 Running patchadd
To install the patch, run patchadd:
   # patchadd <patchname>
 
NOTE: patchadd requires a patch name (<patchname>).
 
1.4 JBOD Array Considerations
If you have an array which was previously claimed as jbod,
you may get the following warning message during reboot after the upgrade:
   NOTICE: vxvm:vxdmp: added disk array <disk-array-serial-no>
   vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: File /etc/vx/array.info not in proper
   format.
   Regenerating file /etc/vx/array.info.
   All attributes will be set to default values.
   The system is coming up.  Please wait.
 
This message informs you that your array configuration has 
changed and that VxVM is recreating the file for you.
 
1.5 Removing the VxVM 3.2 P5 Patch
 
On backing out the VxVM 3.2 P5 patch, you may experience one or both of 
the following:
 
1. You may get the following warning message when you reboot:
   vxvm:vxconfigd: WARNING: Incomplete serial no in file /etc/vx/array.info
   Attributes will be set to default values for these records.
 
NOTE:
   The above warning message may be repeated many times. It can safely
be ignored.
 
2. vxconfigd may core dump upon reboot after removing a patch using patchrm. 
(See TechNote ID: 242565 and Incident 84269) 
 
(The core dump can be removed, it has no effect on how VxVM runs on the 
system.)
 
The core was caused by the old vxconfigd (pre-patch version). Since the core 
points to thread failure, it is likely to be a thread library issue. By doing a 
patchrm, the old libthread.so.1 is not removed, causing the problem.
 
 
1.6 Installing on a SunFire V880 System
Do not install VxVM 3.2 patch 05 if you only have a Photon license
running on a SunFire V880 system.
Customers with V880 systems should insure that they have a properly
installed full VxVM license before installing 3.2 patch 05.
 
Prior to VxVM 3.2 patch03, a photon license will be improperly granted to
and used by the V880 internal array. With the patch installed, a full VxVM
license must be present for VxVM to function on the internal array.
If the root disk is encapsulated, the system should still boot to allow
installation of the license but no VxVM operations will be allowed on the
internal array. If an external photon is attached, the photon license will
still appear but it will not allow VxVM to function on the internal array.
 
The license can be verified using the vxlicense command.
 
PHOTON license:
# vxlicense -p
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Feature name: PHOTON [98]
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Number of licenses: 99
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Expiration date: No expiration date
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Release Level: 20
vrts:vxlicense: INFO: Machine Class: 200513877
 
For a full VxVM license,  vxlicense -p will return the feature name
"VxVM [95]".

New Support Information
=======================
 
3.1 DMP Support for VERITAS ServPoint SAN software
The ServPoint SAN product can be connected to servers or platforms supported
by VxVM 3.2 or higher, and it will appear to that server or platform
as a standard supported disk array.
 
3.2 New Support for ATF Version 3.4.0.7
ATF version 3.4.0.7 is now supported.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
===================================================
Section 4
DMP Tunable: dmp_failed_io_threshold consideration.
(Ref incident 136128)
===================================================
 
SYMPTOM:
Possible data loss after failure of a single path in a multipathed 
environment can occur due to interactions between an Application or 
File System, and Volume Manager.
 
This issue only applies to configurations where all the following
apply:
 
1)  Volume Manager version 3.2 P2 (or later) is installed.
2)  Volume Manager Volumes are NOT mirrored.
3)  There are multiple paths to the disk.
4)  Some portion of the I/O path below DMP fails in such a way that 
the error is not returned to DMP before 10 minutes have elapsed. 
Examples of situations that have been seen to cause this include: Bad 
hardware (HBA, FCOT, GBIC, Switch Port, Array Controller), and HBA 
configured to retry endlessly.
 
NOTE:  It is the failure condition in 4) that triggers the problem.  
These failures are rare and are not seen during normal operation of a 
healthy SAN.
 
BACKGROUND:
With Volume Manager 3.2p2, a new tunable was introduced that allows
DMP to explicitly mark a device as "insane" whenever a specific time
period is reached. Normally, DMP would retry on all available DMP 
paths before it concludes that a disk is "insane." With this parameter, 
it can make this conclusion even before it had a chance to retry all 
paths. This tunable sets a threshold value of 600 seconds (10 minutes) 
for an I/O error to be returned from the device. If the I/O takes longer 
than 10 minutes to return with an error, then DMP assumes that the 
device is insane and passes the error to Volume Manager without 
retrying. This allows Volume Manager to use a mirror of the data to 
satisfy the request without further delay.
 
NOTE: This is not a timeout. No DMP activity will occur after the 10 
minutes passes. DMP only checks the elapsed time of the I/O after it 
is returned by the lower layer. If the elapsed time is greater than 
dmp_failed_io_threshold seconds (default 600) then the error will be 
returned to Volume Manager without retries. DMP will wait as long as 
it takes for the I/O to be returned.
 
However, if the delay in returning the I/O is caused by something in 
the I/O path to the device rather than the device itself, DMP will 
incorrectly return the error to the Volume Manager layer rather than 
retrying the I/O on another path. If the Volume is not mirrored, then 
the error will be passed to the File System or Application layer. 
This can result in the File system marking inodes for deletion when 
they are still valid. If raw volumes are in use, then the application 
could believe that the data on disk is corrupted when it is not.
 
If the Volume is mirrored, Volume Manager will satisfy the I/O from 
the other plex and detach the plex that failed, preventing the volume 
from becoming hung.
 
SOLUTION:
To prevent this possibility in situations where mirrored volumes are 
not used, the threshold should be tuned to a sufficiently high value 
so that it will not be reached (16 hours in this example).
 
To change dmp_failed_io_threshold value, you need to add (or modify) 
the value in /kernel/drv/vxdmp.conf: 
 
    dmp_failed_io_threshold=57600
 
Then reboot.
 
In situations where mirrored volumes are in use and an application 
timeout is being hit when there is still a valid plex with the data, 
the dmp_failed_io_threshold can be tuned to a smaller value to allow 
the I/O to succeed on the mirror without triggering an application 
failure.

Section 5
Full Disk Mirroring and Replacement Encapsulated Root Disk Considerations
=========================================================================
 
If you are mirroring or replacing an encapsulated root disk, then it is
strongly recommended that you use vxdiskadm option #6 for mirroring and
option #5 for replacing.
 
However, if you choose to use vxassist to mirror your encapsulated
root disk, or if you wish to manually replace the disk, then you will
need to make sure that your target disk is setup correctly first.
 
To allow for future forwards and backwards compatibility,  a 1-cylinder 
gap was introduced between the private and public regions 
of the disk in VxVM 3.2; effectively reducing the public region by one
cylinder. Manual instruction is now needed to create a disk layout on
the target disk first. 
 
Consider these two scenarios :   
1. Mirroring a full disk created using an earlier version of VxVM 
   to a target disk which is exactly the same size as the 
   source disk. (A "full disk" is a disk that has no free cylinders.)   
   NOTE: You only need to use this step if disk mirroring/replacement
   using vxdiskadm fails. For details, see vxdiskadm(1M).   
2. Replacing a failed disk created using an earlier version of 
    VxVM to a target disk which is exactly the same size as the 
    source disk.
 
NOTE: 
   In the following examples, the traditional c#t#d# naming
   scheme is used. If you are using enclosure-based naming scheme,
   use the enclosure name instead. 
 
1. Determine the size of the source disk's private region, 
   using either of the following methods:   
   a. Get the private region length of the source disk using:
	#vxdisk list diskname
    where diskname is the disk media name of the source/failed disk. 
    In the displayed output, note the len(length) value for 
    the private field.
    In this example, the value of this field is 3071: 
	private: slice=4 offset=1 len=3071 
   b. For failed disk, if this information is not be available, 
    you must decide what the private region is. 
    (One option is to use the same private region size of another 
    identical disk in the disk group.)  
 
2. Use the vxdisksetup program to initialize the target disk: 
    # /usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxdisksetup -i c#t#d# privlen=XXXX old_layout
   where XXXX is the size of the source disk's private region. 
 
3. Add the newly initialized target disk to the source disk group: 
	# vxdg  -k -g diskgroup adddisk medianame=c#t#d# 
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
===================
Section 6
Duplicate Disk Id's
===================
When VxVM detects disks with duplicate disk IDs, VxVM attempts to 
select the appropriate disk (using array vendor-specific logic). If a 
disk cannot be selected, VxVM does not import any of the duplicated 
disks into a disk group. 
In the rare case when VxVM cannot make the selection, you must choose 
which duplicate disk to use. (An array with hardware mirroring capability 
is particularly susceptible to data corruption, if the wrong disk were to
be selected.)
The following examples describe situations where user intervention is 
needed.
 
Example 1:
When DMP is disabled to an array that has multiple paths, then each path 
to the array is claimed as a unique disk. VxVM detects duplicate disks 
whenever an array is configured as a unique disk for each accessible 
path and gives the following message:
vxvm:vxconfigd: NOTICE: Unable to resolve duplicate diskid.
When DMP is suppressed, VxVM can not know which path to select as the 
true path. You must decide which path to use. Decide which path to exclude
 and then either edit the file /etc/vx/vxvm.exclude or, if vxconfigd is 
running, use the vxdiskadm option 17 selection 1 (suppress all paths 
through a controller from VxVM?s view) or selection 2 (suppress a path 
from VxVM?s view).
The following example shows a vxvm.exclude file with paths c6t0d0s2, 
c6t0d1s2, and c6t0d2s2 excluded from VxVM:
exclude_all 0
paths
c6t0d0s2 /pci@1f,4000/SUNW,ifp@2/ssd@w50060e8003275705,0
c6t0d1s2 /pci@1f,4000/SUNW,ifp@2/ssd@w50060e8003275705,1
c6t0d2s2 /pci@1f,4000/SUNW,ifp@2/ssd@w50060e8003275705,2
#
controllers
#
product
#
pathgroups
 
Example 2:
Some arrays such as EMC, HDS, and so on provide hardware mirroring. 
When a lun pair is split, depending on how the process is performed, 
you may get two disks with the same diskid. With duplicate disk IDs, 
VxVM gives the following message:
vxvm:vxconfigd: NOTICE: Unable to resolve duplicate diskid.
Check with your array vendor to make sure that your site uses the 
proper split procedure. If you know which luns to use, decide which 
path to exclude and then either edit the file /etc/vx/vxvm.exclude or,
 if vxconfigd is running, use the vxdiskadm option 17 selection 1 
(suppress all paths through a controller from VxVM?s view) or 
selection 2 (suppress a path from VxVM?s view).
 
Example 3:
When you have disks duplicated using dd or any other disk copying 
utility, VxVM gives the following message:
vxvm:vxconfigd: NOTICE: Unable to resolve duplicate diskid.
Choose which set of duplicated disks that you want to exclude, and 
either edit the file /etc/vx/vxvm.exclude or, if vxconfigd is running,
 use the vxdiskadm option 17 selection 1 (suppress all paths through 
a controller from VxVM?s view) or selection 2 (suppress a path from 
VxVM?s view).

Section 7 
vxddladm listsupport Considerations
===================================
After installing your patch, you may not see all the supported arrays 
when using the vxddladm listsupport command.
If you do not see the correct information, enter:
   # vxddladm addsupport all
   # vxddladm listsupport
 
to see updated results.
 
NOTE: A core dump may occur when using the vxddladm addsupport all command
(refer to Sun BugID 4642144). Until this problem is fixed, a temporary 
work-around is to set the LD_LIBRARY environment variable to /usr/lib 
before running vxddladm addsupport all.
------------------------------------------------------------------
===================================
Section 8
vxassist relayout Considerations
===================================
 
The vxassist relayout operation requires all mirrors in the volume
to have the same layout. If the volume is contains mirrors with
different layouts, then you need to relayout the mirror plexes
to the same layout before performing the volume relayout operation.
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
============================================
Section 9 
Using vxunroot to unencapsulate the root disk
=============================================
Only those encapsulated volumes that were derived from the pre-encapsulated 
root disk partitions can be unrooted. All other volumes created on the root 
disk after encapsulation must be either removed or moved to another disk
before using vxunroot.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
========================================
Section 10
Using devfs to replace a disk
========================================
 
Before using devfs to replace a disk, you should ensure that the dev_t
entry for the old disk is removed from the OS device tree. Use the following
command to remove the dev_t entry:
 
luxadm -e offline <device_path>
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
=================================
Section 11
T3B Firmware Upgrade on Solaris 9
=================================
On Solaris 9 only, a T3B upgrade to firmware version 2.1 must follow
the procedure below. Not using the procedure leads to disabled disk
groups or an inability to mount file systems. The procedure is a result
of VERITAS incident number 95877.
Use the mount command to unmount related filesystems.
 
Stop all VxVM volumes:
# vxvol stop <vol_name>
 
Stop VxVM:
# vxdctl stop
#vxiod -f set 0
 
Upgrade T3B firmware to version 2.1.
 
Start VxVM:
# vxiod set 10
# vxconfigd -m disable
# vxdctl enable
Start the VxVM volumes:
 
# vxvol -g <dg_name> start <vol_name>
Use the mount command to remount the file system.

Error Message when Booting off a Target Driver
==============================================
 
An updated When any target driver, such as an ATF, coexists with VxVM,
and if the target driver happens to claim the boot disk, then the
following message may be displayed at the console:
WARNING: vxvm:vxdmp: Cannot find device number for </pci@1e,2000/lpfc@2/sd@0,7:a> 
where the path </pci@1e,2000/lpfc@2/sd@0,7:a> corresponds to the bootdisk,
obtained from EEPROM.
This message can safely be ignored. (Ref. incident 109019.)

Section 13
Error Message when Starting VxVM in Boot Mode
(Ref. incident 102494)
=============================================
In some situations, a licensing check may display the following error message
when starting VxVM in boot mode: 
 
/usr/sbin/prtconf: getexecname() failed
 
This message can be safely ignored. (Refer also to Sun Bug# 4122428 and 4209527.)
 
Workaround:

Updated Manual Pages
====================
 
You should replace the manual pages issued with the previous VxVM 3.2 release with
new manual pages. Please refer to TechFile ID 251542 (at

Section 16
Workarounds
==========================
 
16.1 VMSA CFS mount issue: Workaround 
 
Problem:
 
VMSA fails to list/recognize valid cluster nodes 
for a CFS mount operation, when the CFS is not
mounted on at least one cluster nodes.
 
Symptom:
 
When attempting a cluster-mount operation on an
unmounted CFS: 
 
VMSA rejects valid cluster node names in mount 
dialogs.
 
VMSA fails to list cluster nodes in dialogs that
provide a list of valid nodes for mounting a CFS.
 
Workaround:
 
Execute the following cluster-mount command on
the cluster's primary node:
 
# /opt/VRTSvxfs/lib/vcs/mount_cfs /<block_device_name> <node_name>
 
where <block_device_name> is the block-device name for the
CFS, and <node_name> is the name of any node in the cluster.
 
After mounting the CFS on one cluster node, VMSA will 
function normally.

1. Remove c1t5d0s2 entries from vxvm control.
 
   Do "vxdisk rm <da-name>" for all the duplicate entries
 
   [since you don't know which one is the valid one, so do
   it for all ...there can be more than 2 duplicate entries
   also ...]
 
 vxdisk rm c1t5d0s2
 vxdisk rm c1t5d0s2 <-- do it again to remove all the entries.
 
 
2. Remove the disk c1t5d0s2 using luxadm ( solaris command ).
 
   Get A5K Array name and Slot number of the disk using luxadm
 
   #luxadm disp /dev/rdsk/c1t5d0s2
 
 
   Remove device c1t5d0s2 using "luxadm remove_device" command.
   [luxadm remove_device enclr,slot-number]
 
   #luxadm remove_device SAHYADRI,f5
 
 
   Pull the disk out as per luxadm instructions.
 
 
3. Run command  "devfsadm -C"
 
4. Run command  "vxdctl enable"
 
 
  [Till this point, we have removed the dev_t corresponding to the
   physical disk. Now we will remove all the stale dev_t's]
 
  Please loop ac per below instructions.

In multi-host configurations, the Sun StorEdge T3 must be configured 
to the MPxIO mode (explicit failover or nonauto_trespass). In this 
mode, the Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager Software (STMS) driver on the 
host handles multipathing. VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) will not 
see multiple paths to any device on the array.
 
You need to upgrade the Sun StorEdge T3 firmware to 1.17B. The patch 
for this upgrade is 109115-09.
 
The /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf file must have the MPxIO mode enabled 
(mpxio-disable="no"). Use the command "sys mp_support mpxio" on the 
Sun StorEdge T3 array to enable the MPxIO mode.

This tunable specifies the maximum number of dirty regions that can exist
on the system at any time. This is a global value applied to the entire
system, regardless of how many active volumes the system has.
 
The default value for this tunable is 2048.
 
The tunable voldrl_max_drtregs can be used to regulate the worse-case
recovery time for the system following a failure.  A larger value may
result in improved system performance at the expense of recovery time.

Disk Connectivity Policy
(Ref incident 118065)
========================
This section provides information relating to BugID 4817095.
 
With VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM), it is possible to create a shared
disk group on the master node of a cluster. This provides all nodes
in the cluster with concurrent read and write access to the volumes within
the shared disk group.
 
Only the master node can create a shared disk group. This has the following
advantages and implications:
 
* All the nodes in the cluster see exactly the same configuration.
* Only the master node can change the configuration.
* Any changes on the master node are coordinated and propagated to the other
(slave) nodes in the cluster.
* Any failures requiring a configuration change must be sent to the master
so that they can be correctly resolved.
* As the master node resolves any failure, all the slave nodes are correctly
updated; ensuring that all nodes have the same view of the configuration.
 
The practical implication of this approach is that any IO failure on any
node results in the configuration of all nodes being changed.
 
However, in some cases, it is not desirable to have all nodes reacting in this
way to an IO failure (this is known as the global disk detach policy).
To address these cases, an alternative way of responding to IO failures was
added for shared disk groups. Starting with VxVM 3.2 the local disk detach
policy (more formally known as the connectivity policy) became available for
disk groups version 70 and above.
 
NOTE: When the master causes an IO failure on a disk, the disk is marked as
failed and removed from the disk group. This is the same for both local detach
policy and global detach policy. On all the nodes, the volumes on that disk
will be unable to perform IO to an underlying physical device. When a slave
causes an IO failure the disk is not removed from the disk group.
 
19.1 Global Disk Detach Policy
 
The global disk detach policy is the traditional and default policy for all
nodes on the configuration.
 
In this case, if there is an IO failure on one node, the master node
performs the normal IO recovery work to repair the failure, and the plex
is detached cluster wide. All nodes in the cluster continue to perform
IO functions.
 
 
NOTE: The global detach policy must be used with Active/Passive arrays, This
ensures that all nodes correctly coordinate use of the active path.
 
19.2 Local Disk Detach Policy
 
The local disk detach policy was first designed for failover applications in
large clusters.  If an application is affected by IO failures, the cluster
framework is then able to move the application to a node that still had access
to the volume.
The local disk detach policy is used particularly with mirrored volumes.  (For
Unmirrored (or hardware mirrored) volumes there is no difference between
the local and global detach policies.)
 
In the case of local disk detach policy, if there is a write failure on a node,
the master node performs the normal IO recovery work to repair the failure; but
in addition, all the nodes are contacted to see if the disk is still acceptable.
 
If the failure is not seen by all nodes, the local detach policy
stops IO only from the node that had the failure.
 
NOTE: For private disk groups, the local disk detach policy does not change the
behavior of the disk group.

Section 20
Backing up VxVM Configuration Data
==================================
This section addresses BugID 4233507.
 
A new feature, the vxconfigbackupd daemon, is now available for backing up VxVM 
configuration data. 
 
vxconfigbackupd monitors changes to disk group configuration in VxVM. Whenever a 
configuration change occurs, the daemon backs up the changed disk group configuration 
to a file using the vxmake description format.
 
The vxconfigbackupd daemon is started from the /etc/rc2.d/S95vxvm-recover startup 
script. Changes that you make in this script for the invocation of vxconfigbackupd
do not take effect until VxVM is next started from the script.
 
Error and warning messages for the daemon are written with a timestamp to the
console device. The daemon exits on receiving a TERM signal.
 
By default, configuration backup files are stored in the /etc/vx/dgcfg directory in 
compressed form (using gzip or compress), and are maintained in a cyclical manner.
An alternate configuration backup directory can be specified using the -d option.
The files are stored uncompressed if the compression utilities are not available on 
the system. The gzip utility is preferred over compress when both utilities are 
available.
 
The configuration copy files are named dgname.N, where N is a number ranging from 
1 for the most recent copy to 5 for the oldest copy.
The number of copies that are maintained can be changed by using the
-n option.
 
When a disk group is deported or destroyed, the default behavior is to move
the configuration files for the disk group from the backup directory to
the deport subdirectory.
If the -R option is specified, the configuration files are deleted instead of moved.
 
By default, the daemon logs the configurations of all disk groups that are currently 
imported on the system.
If a list of one or more disk group names is specified as an argument,
this restricts the daemon to logging the configurations of only these disk
groups.
 
Please refer to the configbackupd(1M) manual page for further information.

Disk Encapsulation - Overlapping Partitions
(Ref incident 114288)
===========================================
This section provides additional information in relation to BugID 4711196.
When Solaris disks are encapsulated, provision is made for overlapping partitions - 
allowing the public region to overlap the private region. This is action is necessary
because Solaris partitions must be cylinder aligned and offsets must protect the VTOC.

Section 22
Updating jbod.info file on a V880 internal disk enclosure configuration
(Ref incident 133579, Sun BugID 4900508 )
=======================================================================
 
There is a new procedure for supporting multipathed JBOD (Just a Bunch
of Disks) drives with VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 3.2 and later. This
new procedure is needed for multipathed internal disk drives on
Enterprise 3x00 and Sun Fire V880 systems. Customers with internal
drives with VxVM 3.2 cannot enable Dynamic Multipathing (DMP)
support without this procedure, which will lead to serviceability
issues.   
 
This procedure only affects multipathed disk drives that are not
supported under VERITAS Device Discovery Libraries (DDL) in VxVM 3.2.
 
The following is an example of failing configuration:
 
  VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM)
 
  . VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 and later
 
  Sun Workstation/Server with internal multipathed disks, example:
 
  . Sun Enterprise Server 3x00
  . Sun Fire V880
 
Sun StorEdge Arrays are supported with VxVM 3.2 DDL and do not need this
procedure for DMP to work. Specifically, Photon (A5x00), Purple I/II
(T3/T3+/T3B), and Sonoma (A3500) are supported with storage specific DDL
and are not affected.
 
The following example shows a configuration which will experience this 
problem.
 
If a multipathed disk is connected to two different HBAs such as c0 and 
c1, 'vxdisk' will list it as two separate disks:
 
  # vxdisk list
 
    --------------------------------------------------
   | DEVICE    | TYPE    | DISK    | GROUP   | STATUS |
   |===========+=========+=========+=========+========|
   | c0t0d0s2  | sliced  | disk0   | rootdg  | online |
   | c1t0d0s2  | sliced  | disk1   | rootdg  | online |
    --------------------------------------------------
 
Here two disks showed up instead of one. Any internal JBOD disk that 
has multiple paths to it is subject to this problem.
 
Another example occurs when the vxdmpadm command shows a multipathed 
disk having only one path to it.
 
  # vxdmpadm getdmpnode nodename=c0t0d0s2
 
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  | NAME     | STATE    | ENCLR-TYPE  | PATHS  | ENBL | DSBL | ENCLR-NAME |
  |==========+==========+=============+========+======+======+============|
  | c0t0d0s2 | ENABLED  | OTHER_DISKS | 1      | 1    | 0    | OTHER_DISKS|
  | c0t1d0s2 | ENABLED  | OTHER_DISKS | 1      | 1    | 0    | OTHER_DISKS|
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is a change of behavior starting in VxVM 3.2 compared to earlier releases.
VxVM 3.2 moved to a new device discovery library (DDL) architecture in
which specific device support (Hitachi, Photon, T3, Sonoma) is moved
from kernel driver to user libraries (under /etc/vx/lib/discovery.d).
The benefit is that new device support and bug fixes can now be done
with minimal disruption to the system.
 
The solution to this problem for VxVM 3.2 and later is to specify JBOD
support with the 'vxddladm' command. This command needs to be executed
once and the information is persistent across reboots.  Preferably, the
command should be run *before* running 'vxinstall' for the first time.
Details for this procedure can be found in the VxVM 3.2
Administrator's Guide, and are repeated below.
 
 
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
 
The following recommendation is provided as a guideline for authorized
Enterprise Services Field Representatives who may encounter the above
problem. 
 
This procedure can also be used to support Vicom Storage Virtualization 
Engine. It is also used in the StorEdge 6xx0 solution. 
 
New service procedure and documentation change are required to address
this VxVM multipathing issue. VERITAS has documented the 'vxddladm'
JBOD support in the VxVM 3.2 Administrator's Guide, page 59,
under the section:
 
     Administering Disks
     --> Discovering and Configuring Newly Added Disk Devices
     ----> Administering the Device Discovery Layer
     ------> Adding Support for Disks in the JBOD Category
 
Note that "vxdmp.conf" is not the right fix for this case as 
"vxddladm" will eventually take over the functionality.
 
  For completeness, please adhere to the following procedure:
 
  1. Find Disk Vendor ID
 
     Execute the following command to correctly identify the vendor
     ID of the internal disk: (must run as root)
 
     /etc/vx/diag.d/vxdmpinq <VxVM device name in /dev/vx/rdmp/>
 
     For example:
 
       # /etc/vx/diag.d/vxdmpinq /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
       Vendor id (VID)  : SEAGATE 
       Product id (PID) : ST318404LSUN18G 
       Revision         : 8507
       Serial Number    : 0025T0LA3H
 
     In the example above, the vendor id is "SEAGATE".
 
 
  2. Add VERITAS Device Discovery Layer support for JBOD.
     (must run as root)
 
       # /usr/sbin/vxddladm addjbod vid=SEAGATE pid=ST31840LSUN18G
       # vxdctl enable
 
     NOTE: If the device is FUJITSU, you must include the length.
           For example, 
      # /usr/sbin/vxddladm addjbod vid=FUJITSU pid=MAG3091LSUN9.0G
           length=10
 
     Use vxddladm command to verify the JBOD disk is now supported:
 
       # /usr/sbin/vxddladm listjbod
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
       | VID     | PID      | Opcode | Page Code | Page Offset | SNO length
|
 
|=========+==========+========+===========+=============+============|
       | SEAGATE | ALL PIDs | 18     | -1        | 36          | 12
|
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  3. Reboot the system
 
  4. Verify devices are now multipathed.  
 
       # /usr/sbin/vxdmpadm listenclosure all
 
         ---------------------------------------------------------
        | ENCLR_NAME    | ENCLR_TYPE   | ENCLR_SNO    | STATUS    |
        |===============+==============+==============+===========|
        | OTHER_DISKS   | OTHER_DISKS  | OTHER_DISKS  | CONNECTED |
        | Disk          | Disk         | DISKS        | CONNECTED |
         ---------------------------------------------------------
 
  5. Verify disk and DMP paths are recognized.  
 
       # /usr/sbin/vxdisk list
 
         Devices under Disk_0 are multipathed disks.
 
         ------------------------------------------------
        | DEVICE  | TYPE    | DISK     | GROUP  | STATUS |
        |=========+==========+==========+=======+========|
        | Disk_0  | sliced  | disk01   | rootdg | online |
         ------------------------------------------------

Section 23
Moving a disk device from one physical array slot to another
(Ref incident 137607)
=======================================================================

PROBLEM:

If a disk device is moved (or swapped) from one physical array slot to another, then it is 
possible for two different devices to be incorrectly merged into a single DMP node 
- ultimately leading to possible data corruption.

Note: This situation can occur even after the disks have been re-discovered (for example,
 by means of the devfsadm -C command) and re-scanned (for example, by using the vxdctl enable 
command).

For example; suppose the disk at slot 2 is powered off. The host will not then see any device 
in slot 2. Then:
 
# vxdisk list
DEVICE       TYPE      DISK         GROUP        STATUS
c1t1d0s2     sliced    -            -            error
c1t1d0s4     simple    c1t1d0s4     rootdg       online
c3t1d0s2     sliced    -            -            online
c3t3d0s2     sliced    -            -            online
c3t4d0s2     sliced    -            -            online
c3t5d0s2     sliced    -            -            online
c3t6d0s2     sliced    -            -            online

Note that c3t2d0 is missing. Also notice that DMP device c3t5d0 has only one entry.

Then:
# vxdmpadm getsubpaths dmpnodename=c3t5d0s2
NAME         STATE     PATH-TYPE  CTLR-NAME  ENCLR-TYPE   ENCLR-NAME
====================================================================
c3t5d0s2     ENABLED     -        c3         Disk         Disk


Suppose, now:
disk c3t5d0 at slot 5 is powered off and removed from slot 5
disk c3t2d0 at slot 2 is removed from slot 2
The two disks are swapped (so that the disk that was in slot 5 is now in slot 2,
and the disk that was in slot 2 is now in slot 5
Both disks are powered on.

If rediscover and rescan are now performed, in an attempt to get DMP and the OS see the 
new disk arrangement, it is possible that DMP node c3t5d0s2 has become "confused," 
and has incorrectly multi-path'ed BOTH the old device (c3t2d0s2) as well as the new device 
(c3t5d0s2) as the same device. Since these two disks are physically different, and should 
never be multi-path'ed into the same DMP node, data corruption will occur if I/O goes 
through this DMP path.
  
# devfsadm -C
# vxdctl enable
# vxdisk list
DEVICE       TYPE      DISK         GROUP        STATUS
c1t1d0s2     sliced    -            -            error
c1t1d0s4     simple    c1t1d0s4     rootdg       online
c3t1d0s2     sliced    -            -            online
c3t3d0s2     sliced    -            -            online
c3t4d0s2     sliced    -            -            online
c3t5d0s2     sliced    -            -            onlin
c3t6d0s2     sliced    -            -            online

# vxdmpadm getsubpaths dmpnodename=c3t5d0s2
NAME         STATE     PATH-TYPE  CTLR-NAME  ENCLR-TYPE   ENCLR-NAME
====================================================================
c3t5d0s2     ENABLED     -        c3         Disk         Disk
c3t2d0s2     ENABLED     -        c3         Disk         Disk
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vx/rdmp/c3t5d0s4 bs=128k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
# iostat
  device    bps     sps    msps

....
  c3t5d0   4076    15.9     1.0
....
  c3t2d0   4076    15.9     1.0

Notice that I/O is going through both devices, which is incorrect, and will lead to unexpected 
data corruption.

WORK AROUND:

Just before changing (swapping) the disk slots, the multipathing should be disabled. 
That is, the library definition and/or the jbod definitions should be removed.  
The disks will then be added as single-pathed disks, and existing multi-pathing will 
be lost as a result of dmpnodes being split. Multipathing can be later re-enabled, 
and vxdctl enable will merge the correct dmpnodes.

The steps are:

(a) Exclude the library or remove the JBOD definition:
         # vxddladm excludearray libname=<> or # vxddladm rmjbod vid=<>
(b) Scan the disks for vxvm:
         # vxdisk scandisks or vxdctl enable

    (The main purpose of steps (a) & (b) is to force all the dmpnodes from the array to 
    be single-path'ed.)

(c) Include the library or JBOD definition.  
         # vxddladm includearray libname=<> or # vxddladm addjbod vid=<>
(d) Scan the disks for vxvm:
         #vxdisk scandisks or vxdctl enable.

   (The main purpose of steps (c) & (d) is to re-group the paths from scratch to again 
   form multi-path'ed dmpnodes for the luns.)

Note: The above steps will also fix the problem, if it has already occurred.

For example:
If you have physically moved a particular XP1024 disk (corresponding DDL library libvxxp256.so) 
to a different array slot, then you need to carry out the following steps:

# vxddladm excludearray libname=libvxxp256.so
# vxdctl enable  (or vxdisk scandisks)
# vxddladm includearray libname=libvxxp256.so
# vxdctl enable  (or vxdisk scandisks)

CAUTION: Once multi-pathing is disabled, the same disk is exposed as two
different disks with the potential of the disk being initialized through
the other path. Therefore, this state should not be continued for longer
than necessary. Also, the system must not be rebooted - the DG import would
then fail due to duplicate disk ids.
