booting from san

[whiz_kid911]

hello
I have an hpux 11.31 server where the local OS disk is mirrored to a disk presented from an XP storage.
I want to set the alternate boot to storage and want to test if it can boot from the mirrored copy from XP.
Any inputs in terms of setting this up ?

Hi ,

If your disk is mirrored you can boot .. Just set the alternate boot path with your the lun hardware path.

By the way which is your server and which is your card?

Get the path to the disk from ioscan and set it by using "setboot".

used the setboot to setup the alternate path. But from EFI menu, its not finding the san disk ?

Since the XP is supported for boot, it should work.

Please post

# strings /etc/lvmtab

# lvlnboot -v

# setboot
