ASM troubleshooting

I found a couple of great articles on ASM trouble shooting.

This one talks about migrating RAW to ASMlib and adding a label

This article has some other suggestions include the "od" command to actually dump the data on your lun to see if the label is there.

You can also run kfed read /dev/....

This would return a bunch of information with

kfbh.hard: 0 ; 0x001: 0x00
kfbh.type: 0 ; 0x002: KFBTYP_INVALID
kfbh.datfmt: 0 ; 0x003: 0x00

if it's bad or

kfbh.hard: 0 ; 0x001: 0x00
kfbh.type: 0 ; 0x002: KFBTYP_DISKHEADER
kfbh.datfmt: 0 ; 0x003: 0x00

if it's good.

Here's a link to an article telling you what kfed will tell you (that is known).

Every little bit helps when having an ASM hiccup.
