How to remove an SRL from a VVR RVG, and then recreate it

The SRL for an existing RVG has become corrupt and needs to be removed. Once it is removed, a new SRL needs to be recreated and placed back in the RVG.


The necessary steps to accomplish this:

1) Detach the rlink connected to this RVG:

# vxrlink -g DG_Name det rlink_name

2) Stop the affected RVG:

# vxrvg -g DG_Name stop RVG_name

3) Disassociate the SRL from the RVG:

# vxvol -g DG_name dis srl_vol

4) Delete the SRL volume from the diskgroup:

# vxedit -g DG_name -rf rm srl_vol

5) Create a new SRL volume:

# vxassist -g DG_name make srlvol [options*]

6) Start the new SRL volume:

# vxvol -g DG_name start srl_vol

7) Associate the SRL with the RVG

# vxvol -g DG_Name aslog RVG_name srl_vol

8) Restart the RVG:

# vxrvg -g DG_name start RVG_name

9) Reattach the rlink:

# vxrlink -g DG_name -a att rlink_name
