Disk replace (no mirror)

[Bill Hassell]

Because the errors are on one of the two disks in vg00 and you have no mirroring, you need to immediately make two Ignite/UX copies for vg00. The bad disk could fail at any time and you will have nothing. A failure of any disk in vg00 (with no mirrors) means the system may no longer boot up (even if it is running now.

Once you have good Ignite backups, replace the bad disk and use the Ignite tape to reinstall vg00 onto both disks. Depending on how important this machine is, you may want to quickly invest in the Mirror/UX product and get two additional disks.

thanks.
I'm planning to take backup and restore it to new disks.

As Bill noted, you may want to add disks and start mirroring as soon as practical.

Additionally, you should consider moving those "10 other filesystems" out of vg00 to new volume groups and reserve vg00 for the OS only.
