HPUX Disk Mirroring

Gary_178 — Tue, 04 Jan 2005 04:32:23 GMT

Being somewhat extremely new to Unix, I have just had a system crash

One of my Volume Groups has crashed
However, this Volume Group is actually mirrored

How do I switch to use the mirrored copy?

Any assistance greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi Gary,

How is it going? Why did your vg crashed? Because of a failed hard disk? If you still encounter problems, please provide output of vgdisplay on the vg that gives you problems.

Best regards,

Peter.

Gary,

There's nothing in that output that convinces me that this vg is mirrored. Could you provide a "vgdisplay -v", please?

Pete
