SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0:
vendor: SEAGATE

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Hi John,

Try this link on how to replace the disk. This link covers most of the common situations.

This is what you need to do. Shutdown the system, replace the drive and boot up in LVM maintenance mode ..
ISL> hpux -lm
and run the following after you've install your new disk c1t6d0

# mkboot -l /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0
# mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0
# vgcfgrestore -n vg00 /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0
=> recovers LVM info to the new disk
# vgchange -a y vg00
=> enables new root disk
# vgsync vg00
=> configure LVs and copies data from primary disk
=> this will take awhile

After it's done reboot the machine. That's it.

John,

Looks like the bases are covered. Good luck! Hopefully you are having HP replace the disk?

Hello and thank you all so very much for your responses. Yes, HP is coming out to do the disk replacement and hopefully get it configured in the system. But I wanted the information just in case and so I have a clue as to what is going on. Thank you so much again.
