How to check root partation is mirrored or not?

[Torsten.]

The software is on your install media, but you need to buy a license to get a codeword.

There is only a download for 11.31, because it is already included in base OS.

Also if you have MCOE (Misson Critical OE) or DCOE (DataCenter OE), Mirror-UX is bundled with it. and no need to worry.


Cheers,

Hi Again,

As said you will need Mirror UX software to mirror your disk.

Again, Single user mode will not work as you do NOT have the software installed.

If just to have a backup of your root disk is ok, then we can copy main disk onto another so that for worst case you will have a boot disk ready.

This will done by copying one to the other:

# dd if=/dev/rdsk/cXtXdX of=/dev/rdsk/cYtYdY bs=1024k

/dev/rdsk/cXtXdX ==> Original/Input Disk

Do NOT reverse the order.

Hope this helps..

==> No,
better you may contact HP for getting the license(Code word) and install it.

Once you apply that , you can verify it with above command, it will show you the details of the product.
