lvlnboot error for swap volume update. HP-UX 10.20

[rveri]

Hi all,
I have to mirror the root disks in HP-UX 10.20
MirrorDisk/UX is loaded and all the three lvols namely


/dev/vg00/lvol1
/dev/vg00/lvol2
/dev/vg00/lvol3


are mirrored and the lvlnboots are updated for boot and root partitions but when I update the boot record of swap it fails after giving the following
error messg.

# lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
lvlnboot: Unable to configure swap logical volume.
Swap logical volume size beyond the IODC max address.

and the following is the lvlnboot -v report
# lvlnboot -v
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0 (8/16/5.6.0) -- Boot Disk
/dev/dsk/c0t5d0 (8/16/5.5.0) -- Boot Disk
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
/dev/dsk/c0t5d0

/dev/dsk/c0t5d0
Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0, 0

Hi,

I think you have to check for patch

Patch Name : PHCO_24809
Patch Description :

introduced behavior that will cause the lvlnboot(1M) command to fail when executed in recovery mode. Executing 'lvlnboot -R' will fail to configure swap and dump volumes and messages similar to the following will be reported:
lvlnboot: Unable to configure swap logical volume.
Swap logical volume size beyond the IODC max address.
lvlnboot: Unable to configure dump logical volume.
Dump logical volume size beyond the IODC max address.

You may have to check for superseding patch & or equivalent & dependent patches also.

Hi,

Post the outputs of 'pvdisplay -v ' of both the disks. Make sure the lvols are mirrored in the same order as on the primary disk.

Thaks Sridhar and Imran , I ll check for the patch u mentioned

PHCO_27408 s700_800 11.11 LVM commands cumulative patch.

And I will give the output of pvdisplay -v , soon by eve.

Is there any limitation for swap space , to define , for HP-UX 10.20 ?

Yep. It can't be more than 2 GB and if my memory servers me right, it should also be found within the first 2 GB on the boot disk.
