Truncated. The volume cannot be reassembled because one of the physical devices is smaller than its logical subdevice specification. Potential causes of this problem are: • The disk partition table was changed. • The size of the LUN was reduced on the array. Incomplete. The volume cannot be reassembled because one or more of its subdevices were not found. Potential causes of this problem are: • The missing subdevices are on LUNs that are not accessible from the cluster. • The physical devices containing the logical subdevices were overwritten. Reuse subdevices in unimportable volumes The subdevices in an unimportable volume can be reused in other dynamic volumes or filesystems after the original volume is destroyed. This step removes the volume signature from all of the subdevices, freeing them for other uses. On the HP Scalable NAS Management Console, when you select a subdevice from an unimportable volume for use in a new filesystem or a new or extended volume, the console will report that the subdevice contains a volume signature and will ask whether you want to destroy the associated dynamic volume. This operation will succeed for both the incomplete and truncated states. If the volume is in the duplicate state, the operation will fail and you will need to run the corresponding mx command with the --reuse option. The mx dynvolume create, mx dynvolume extend, and mx fs create commands include the --reuse option, which causes the operation to proceed even though the specified subdevice may already be in use by another dynamic volume. The operation will destroy the volume previously using the subdevice. HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software administration guide 119
