I run powermt config.

You can also tell AIX to assign a pvid using

chdev -a pv=yes -l hdiskXX

Good morning all,

I've written about this overall topic before, and received excellent
information, so I hope someone will recognize this wrinkle.

IBM p671 split into 2 LPARs. EMC SAN connected to each LPAR, but
separate LUNs are visible to each host. I've built BCVs to be
accessible by one host, regular LUNs visible to the other host.

When I did the initial testing, I was able to establish the BCV mirror,
split the mirror, and importvg all the volume groups without problem.
However, I try it now, and the PVIDs and volume group information
doesn't seem to be getting copied from disk to BCV disk. Here are the
commands I'm using:

$SYMMIR -g ODWH -full establish DEV001 BCV ld BCV001 \
                                DEV002 BCV ld BCV002 \
                                .
                                .
                                DEV040 BCV ld BCV040

# run a script to move the DB to "backup mode"

$SYMMIR -g ODWH split -noprompt

At this point, I would expect to see the PVIDs and other information on
the BCVs that are visible to this particular host. However, they appear
to be blank, with no PVIDs present.

Any suggestions appreciated.
