HP9K/rx8640/HP-UX 11.23 EOE (boot disk mirror problem)

[YAQUB_1]

Hi All,

When I've execute the below command:
==> # mkboot -a "hpux -lq (0/0/0/3/0.6.0;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0

That time system showing below info:
==> -a specified but no current boot area on /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0

Could you please any one guide to me regarding this issue?

Hi Yaqub:

Mirroring the boot disk on an Itanium server differs from the procedure for a PA-RISC one. See Appendix-A of:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5991-1236/When_Good_Disks_Go_Bad.pdf

Regards!

hi yakup ;

this is the guide for mirroring . source disk is c3t2d0, change it with your disk address.

vi /tmp/partitionfile

3
EFI 500MB
HPUX 100%
HPSP 400MB

idisk -wf /tmp/partitionfile /dev/rdsk/cxtydz

insf -e






pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/cxtydzs2

mkboot -e -l /dev/dsk/cxtydz

vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2

lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol$i /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2






lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3 /dev/vg00

lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/vg00

lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2 /dev/vg00

lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2 /dev/vg00


efi_ls -d /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s1

efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s1 -u /EFI/HPUX/AUTO /tmp/AUTO

vi /tmp/AUTO

boot vmunix -lq

efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s1 /tmp/AUTO /EFI/HPUX/AUTO

efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/cxtydzs1 /tmp/AUTO /EFI/HPUX/AUTO
