My previous post asked about unsplitting mirrored disks - thanks for the replies - very useful. My next question refers to doing it on a live system running 600 users. Is it safe to do ? Do I risk losing any data ? What's the worst that could happen ? Thanks in advance for the continued help & support.
P.S. This thread has been moved from Disk to HP-UX > sysadmin. -HP Forum Moderator

SolutionTo insure a complete uncorrupted copy of the data is on the unmirrored disks, all files must be closed prior to splitting the mirror.

Re: Doing the deed ! Unsplitting mirrors
1) Back it up
2) Do not do this on a live system

Re: Doing the deed ! Unsplitting mirrors
Data will not be lost, however, you will be at a single point of failure at the time, to avoid this you could create a third mirror then split the second.. but not recommended with 600 users due to heavy disk ios.
Worst that could happen is command syntax error, primary mirror failing when split, merging the split into the primary on resynchronisation rather than vice versa.
Online filesystem resizing can only be done with fsadm (online JFS)
