Replace both internal Disk

Sp4admin — Mon, 14 May 2007 12:18:13 GMT

Hello Group,

I have to replace both my internal disk. I plan on doing this via ignite recovery tape. The only question I have is there are two other vg's on the internal's vg02 and vg03. My ignite only recovers the vg00 volume group correct? Will I need to rebuild the other two volume group's? Can I use fbackup and what are the commands. The reason for this is to be able to upgrade the OS.

L-Class L1000
HPUX 11.11
ignite Version C.6.1.44

Thanks in Advance,
sp,

Run vgexport in preview mode to capture a map file, then re-import vg02 and vg03 into your newly recovered system.

vgexport -m /tmp/vg02.map -p -s vg02
vgexport -m /tmp/vg03.map -p -s vg03

Hi,

do you have vg00, vg02 and vg03 all on your internal disks?

In this case, use fbackup to backup the data from vg02 and vg03 to tape, use ignite to backup vg00.

Replace the disks, restore vg00 from ignite tape, re-create vg02 and vg03 (including LVOLS), mount the data LVOLS and restore the data from your fbackup.
