Server does not boot

David Willams — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:19:38 GMT

I have closed all the threads and opening a new one..

This is new Installation:-
There is no data apart from vg00:-

I have installend 11.31 on external disk
I have 11.23 on internal disk

Now I wanted to mirrior the external disk to the Internal...

I have done the below:-

# idisk -f /tmp/idf -w /dev/rdisk/disk6

# idisk -f /tmp/idf -w /dev/rdisk/disk8

#pvcreate -B /dev/rdisk/disk6_p2

#vgextend vg00 /dev/disk/disk6_p2

this gave an error

Couldn't open physical volume "/dev/rdisk/disk9_p2":
Verification of unique LVM disk id on each disk in the volume group
vg00 failed.

Then I rebooted the server... now it does not boot up...

now either I havee to bring the server up & running or

reinstall the oS... but to reinstall I do not have fs0 or fs1 or fs2... plz advise

putting an install DVD into the DVD on the server, and rebooting to the EFI prompt, interrupt that and it should shows a fs(x) as the DVD rom
Read the manuals, all explained in there.

yes, because it appears that you have corrupted the origional boot disks.
Start with the DVD and do a clean install.
Then read the manual pages on mirroring an Integrity server boot disk.
