If the replication group is configured in a cluster: - assure_mimix - 6.0

Perform the following steps to recreate the removed jfs or jfs2 logical volume and associated filesystem or raw logical volume with no associated file system.

1. Stop the cluster from managing the application associated with the replication group.

1. From the Assure UI portal, click on the Clusters tab.

2. Click on the Select dropdown in the Clusters portlet.

3. Click Manage Applications.

4. In the Manage Application dialog click the No radio button then click OK.

5. On the production server, stop all applications associated with the replication group.

6. On the production server, remove the device entries in the /dev/ directory for the logical volume(s) that was removed from the system. Substitute the example lv names with the actual lv names.

   Example: rm /dev/ lvFS_C18_10 and rm /dev/rlvFS_C18_10

7. On the production server, remake the jfs or jfs2 logical volume(s) and associated filesystem(s) or logical volume(s) with no associated file system that was removed from the system.

   Note: The logical volume size, type and location must match the original size, type and location the logical volume had before it was removed from the system. Additionally, the filesystem must be recreated on the original volume group and mount point it had before it was removed from the system.

8. On the production server stop replication, from the command line.

   Note: Do not use the “S” option in the stop command.

   Example: rtstop –FC<Context ID>

9. On the recovery server, stop replication, from the command line.

   Example: rtstop –FC<Context ID>

10. On the production server, remove the jfs or jfs2 logical volume and associated filesystem or logical volume with no associated file system that was recreated in Step 4.

11. From the Assure UI portal, use the Configuration Wizard to remove the logical volume(s) that were removed in Step 7, from the replication group’s configuration.

1. Click the Configuration action in the Replication Groups portlet to launch the Configuration Wizard.

2. Click the Change Replication action button for the replication group being changed.

3. Navigate to the Logical Volumes dialog. If the logical volume being removed has an associated filesystem that uses a JFS outline log, select all filesystems that use the outline log and the outline log.

4. Click the Remove action.

5. Click OK to remove the selected entries from the configuration.

If any of the filesystems that were selected to be removed from the configuration because they use the same outline log, still require protection, add them to the configuration.

1. Click the Add action.

2. Select the Volume group for replicated data from the “Select” action drop down list. Select the same volume group that originally contained the replicated data.

3. Select only the removed logical volume(s) that need to be protected and JFS outline log.

4. Click OK, the logical volumes appear in the list of logical volumes to be protected.

5. Click the Next action and navigate to the Summary panel.

6. Click the Finish button to remake the configuration.

7. From the Assure UI portal, start the replication group and verify the replication group is active before you Manage your application(s).

8. Allow the cluster to manage the application associated with the replication group.

1. From the Assure UI portal, click on the Clusters tab.

2. Click the Select action dropdown button in the Clusters portlet.

3. Click Manage Applications.

4. In the Manage Application dialog click the Yes radio button then click OK.
