VxVM Mirror Disk Replacement

MikeL_4 — Mon, 22 Nov 2004 12:24:20 GMT

We had a failure of the rootdisk01 which was replaced this morning.
I followed the replacement documentation in the troubleshooting guide but when I get to running vxbootsetup it is failing with:

[/root]:=>vxvmboot -v /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0
vxvmboot: Disk /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 does not contain a valid LIF volume.
[/root]:=>/opt/VRTS/bin/vxbootsetup rootdisk01
vxbootsetup: ERROR: Disk rootdisk01 (c2t1d0) priv offset = 128, S/B 2144

How do I get this back to being a bootable disk, other than this everything looks good with the recovery.

In the lvm world these commands 32 bit on the top 64 bit OS second copy the LIf volume from disk to disk.

# mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif -p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p PAD -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?

If you are running 64-bit OS:

# mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif2 -p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p PAD -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?

The commands do not appear to be LVM specific and may work for you.

Errr oops!

From the CSE guide vxvm chapter.

lifcp /dev/rdsk/c3t8d0:AUTO -
mkboot -a "hpux /stand/vmuix" /dev/rdsk/c3t8d0
lifcp /dev/rdsk/c3t8d0:AUTO -

should yeild result.

hpux /stand/vmunux

Well its the mkboot command anyway.

Thanks, I missed the step:
# /etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -iB c0t0d0 privlen=1024
