Re: pvid not updating on node2 on aix oracle rac install

>> it still reports as none
What does report none? The disk itself or the ODM (please check the mentioned IBM note to verify both)?

>> Should i run chdev on node2 as well? or should i expect it to automatically change from none to pvid value, when i issue chdev on node1. No need to run chdev on node 2 again, but the ODM on node 2 is not updated automatically. Please try the following on node 2 to clear the ODM and rediscover the whole disk.

shell> rmdev -dl hdisk<X>
shelL> cfgmgr -S

Otherwise please check if the disk header is accessible from node 2 (e.g. SCSI reservation / reset). For more information - please also check out these blog posts: http://nixys.fr/blog/?p=311 & http://www.aixmind.com/?p=757
