Folks,

I have posted an early message about p/h disk problem after replacing a
new disk

think i need to configue hdisk , as ODM does not see it

mkdev: 0514-519 The following device was not found in the customized
device configuration database:
name = 'hdisk19'

Anyone point me in the right direction

You probably do not have drivers installed for this disk. Is it the
first of this type of drive you have installed on this system? If
you're running 4.3.3+ then you probably have the drivers on your AIX
CDs.

Place the first AIX CD in your drive and type "cfgmgr -i /dev/cd0" and
see if it finds the necessary drivers.

If the drivers are not found then you will have to obtain them from
http://service.software.ibm.com.

Thanks for the info, but i think the drivers will already be loaded as
we have a SSA stack, and 20 other hard disks, we just replaced disk19
after it failed.

We can see the pdisk, but just cant assocaited the hdisk with it

Hi,

did you perform the replacement procedure given in the SSA users guide ?

did you remove the pdisk after replacement (before cfgmgr)?
if not: remove the pdisk and try cfgmgr.

Otherwise:
perform a SSA Link Verification using diag
provide a lscfg | grep pdisk and lscfg | grep hdisk

The disk is probably faulty.

Hi Simon,

just a thought, but could it be that you put in the disk without deleting
the info about the old one? Maybe the info about the old disk still lurks
there somewhere in the abyss of the ODM and puts an obstacle between you
and your new disk.

Supposing your disk is on ssa0 try:

rmdev -dl ssa0 -R

which should delete all the hdisks, pdisks and the adapter itself. Then
reboot and run cfgmgr. Maybe this helps.
