Weird issue with VERITAS after replacing the disk

When performing a disk replacement in VxVM 4.1 and VxVM 5.0, the disk being replaced does not show up in the output of a "vxdisk list" command. Instead a "NONAMEs2" entry is seen.

root@XXXXX# vxdisk -e list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS OS_NATIVE_NAME
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-2272 NONAMEs2 not a valid dmpnode disk access name.
NONAMEs2 auto - - online

To get rid of this, solution is to re-create device mapping, restart vxconfigd, initialize the device, add the disk back to the diskgroup.

# vxdisk rm NONAMEs2 (Remove the device entry in Volume Manager)
# cd /dev/vx/rdmp (Delete all files pertaining to NONAME*)
# cd /dev/vx/dmp (Delete all files pertaining to NONAME*)
# mv /etc/vx/disk.info /etc/vx/disk.info.old
# mv /etc/vx/array.info /etc/vx/array.info.old
# devfsadm -Cv
# vxddladm stop eventsource
# vxconfigd -k (This will recreate the device mapping and the disk.info file)

If the above solution fails, Rerun all commands up to and including: "mv /etc/vx/disk.info /etc/vx/disk.info.old" then run a reconfigure reboot.

It worked!!!! disk c1t3d0s2 is back....

Now as the disk is back in proper format perform action of  -

• Initialize the device,
• Add the disk to the disk group
• Recover plex.
