Hello,
I have the recepie for root disk replacement from the Cookbook's LVM chapter at my disposal.
However, since it doesn't mention a "pvcreate -B" I assume that the vgcfgrestore of the failed disk from LVM conf will automatically initialize the replacment PV such that the required extra space for boot data will be provided for.
I couldn't find any remarks confirming my assumption in man vgcfgrestore.
Would I have to initialize the new disk with a prior pvcreate -B?
Well I think it wouldn't hurt,
just to be on the safe side.
Would it?

yes it does.
If you read the backup file using vgcfgrestore you can see what disks were bootable at the time vgcfgbackup ran
e.g.
vgcfgrestore -n vg00 -l
Not sure if you have seen this, but it may also be of use

Re: Does vgcfgrestore of replaced boot disk automatically provide for boot header in PV?
Hi Melvyn,
the failed disk shows up in the vgcfgbackup as being a boot disk.
Thus a vgcfgrestore will most likely inititalize the PV with boot space.
# vgcfgrestore -l -n vg00
Volume Group Configuration information in "/etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf"
VG Name /dev/vg00
---- Physical volumes : 2 ----
/dev/rdsk/c1t2d0 (Bootable)
/dev/rdsk/c2t2d0 (Bootable)
Thanks also for providing the link to the fine LVM whitepaper about failed disks.
I haven't seen this one yet.
So it must be a rather new release?
From what I've read by quickly browsing through it I fear LVM OLR will only be available for 11i?
Too sad this box runs 11.00,
but I'm prepared to fix manually.
