If the replication group is not configured in a cluster: - assure_mimix - 6.0

Perform the following steps to recreate the jfs or jfs2 logical volume and associated filesystem or logical volume with no associated file system that was removed from the system:

Example: logical volume “lvFS_C18_10” and associated filesystem “/FS_C18_10” were removed from the system while the replication group is active.

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

2. 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

3. 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 it had before it was removed from the system, and the filesystem must be recreated on the original volume group and mount point it had before it was removed from the system.

4. 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>

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

   Example: rtstop -FC<Context ID>

6. 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 3.

7. From the Assure UI portal, use the Configuration Wizard to remove the logical volume(s) that were removed in Step 6 from the replication group's configuration.

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

2. Click Change Replication 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 same outline log and the outline log.

4. Click Remove.

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 Add.

2. Select the Volume group for replicated data from the Select dropdown list. Select the same volume group that originally contained the replicated data.

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

4. Click OK, the logical volumes are added to the list of logical volumes to be protected.

5. Click Next and navigate to the Summary panel.

6. Click Finish to remake the configuration.

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