HDD replacement

Velda — Fri, 28 Mar 2014 01:37:25 GMT

I have a following situation :
HP UX 11.23 + HP9000 + mirror HDD + LVM
And one of the disks needs to be changed.
They are hot-swap, but as I understand it, it is not as simple as in, say RedHat...

Could you please tell me the necessary sequence of events, or point me to a relevant URL?

P.S. This thread has been moved from Disk to HP-UX > LVM and VxVM. -HP Forum Moderator

I assume you need to replace a mirrored disk. You have to determine at which level the disk is mirrored. If it is mirrored by a built-in RAID controller, you have to replace it based on the raid controller procedure. Consult your controller manual. It could be as simple as removing the old drive and inserting the new one.

If it is mirrored using LVM, you have to follow the LVM process for replacing a mirror. Look at http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5991-1236/When_Good_Disks_Go_Bad.pdf
