Error Message

VxVM vxvol ERROR V-5-1-10128  No complete plex on the site

1. Import the disk group.

In this example, the temporary flag is being used to import disk group "testdg."
# vxdg -t import testdg

Note: Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1, and later, has the the ability to auto-start volumes when a disk group is imported. Use vxdefault to display whether the "autostartvolumes" setting is enabled.

2. Detach the site which contains the mirror to be detached.

In this example, site "london" is being detached. The command "vxdisk listtag" can be used to display which disks are bound to which sites.
# vxdg -g testdg detachsite london

3. Start the volume using the remaining attached plexes and sites.

In this example, the volume is named vol1:
# vxrecover -g testdg -s vol1

4. The detached site, and mirror, can be reattached to resynchronise the mirrors in the volume at a later time, using this command:
kylie# vxdg -g testdg reattachsite london
 

Applies To

Storage Foundation 5.0 MP 3RP4
 

There may be instances when it is preferable to start a mirrored volume with one data plex detached and one plex attached. Traditionally, this is accomplished by transitioning one data plex to "clean" and the other data plexes to "offline," then starting the volume manually. In a site-aware configuration, using Storage Foundation 5.0 MP3 RP4, this will not work. The volume will not be able to start, producing an error.
