Thanks to all of you for your fast replies.... It's a bad day for me because all of you have answered that when we lost more than one disk without hotspare, the RAID5 becomes unusable... So i'll know that for the next time, we should always sacrifice one disk to be configured as hotspare...

I've 2 disks that went down. So I removed them for the raid diskgroup. You can see that with this 'vxprint' output : Disk group: raid5dg TY NAME ASSOC KSTATE LENGTH PLOFFS STATE TUTIL0 PUTIL0 dg raid5dg raid5dg - - - - - - dm raid5dg01 - - - - REMOVED - - dm raid5dg02 c2t11d0s2 - 35358848 - - - - dm raid5dg03 c2t12d0s2 - 35358848 - - - - dm raid5dg04 c2t13d0s2 - 35358848 - - - - dm raid5dg05 c2t2d0s2 - 35358848 - - - - dm raid5dg06 c2t3d0s2 - 35358848 - - - - dm raid5dg07 - - - - REMOVED - - dm raid5dg08 c2t5d0s2 - 35358848 - - - - v data_03 raid5 DETACHED 247511040 - ACTIVE - - pl data_03-01 data_03 ENABLED 247511936 - ACTIVE - - sd raid5dg05-01 data_03-01 ENABLED 35358848 0 - - - sd raid5dg06-01 data_03-01 ENABLED 35358848 0 - - - sd raid5dg07-01 data_03-01 DISABLED 35358848 0 REMOVED - - sd raid5dg08-01 data_03-01 ENABLED 35358848 0 - - - sd raid5dg01-01 data_03-01 DISABLED 35358848 0 REMOVED - - sd raid5dg02-01 data_03-01 ENABLED 35358848 0 - - - sd raid5dg03-01 data_03-01 ENABLED 35358848 0 - - - sd raid5dg04-01 data_03-01 ENABLED 35358848 0 - - - But now, I can't manage to bring the volume up. root@rogue# vxvol resync data_03 vxvm:vxvol: ERROR: Volume data_03 is not started root@rogue# vxvol start data_03 vxvm:vxvol: ERROR: Volume data_03 is not startable; Raid5 plex does not map the entire volume length Any ideas ?
