I'm looking for up to date documentation regarding the replacement procedures for a mirrored boot disk on hpux 11.i.

David,

The best source I know of is HP's "Software Recovery Handbook":

-or-

You'll want to check out Chapter 16 on LVM. There's a whole section on disk recovery, including mirrored boot disk replacement.

David,

I was afraid of that - you need a support contract linked to your handle in order to access the TKB. Here's the nutshell version:

Replace the disk

Check with ioscan that you can see it

Restore the lvm configuration with "vgcfgrestore -n VG /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

Activate with "vgchange -a y vg00

Configure the LIF/BDRA:
. mkboot -l /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
. mkboot -a 'hpux -lq' /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
. install the ODE files if desired

Sync using "vgsync vg00 &"
