Hi guys,

Does anyone know the correct steps to make a disk bootable? I select a disk and then I want to make it bootable:

Thank you.

Hi Leon,

I am sure there would be atleast a 1000 threads on this question. Here is the info again.

DSK=/dev/dsk/c#t#d#
RDSK=/dev/rdsk/c#t#d#

1. pvcreate -B $RDSK
2. vgextend vg00 $DSK
3. mkboot $RDSK
5. mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix" $RDSK
6. cd /usr/sbin/diag/lif
7. mkboot -vb updatediaglif -p ISL -p HPUX -p AUTO $RDSK
8. For all the logical volumes do lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol? $DSK
9. lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/swap_lvol
10. lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/stand_vol
11. lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/root_vol
12. lvlnboot -R and verify by lvlnboot -v
