Can anyone advise where I can obtain a license codeword in able to install Mirrordisk/UX off the 10.10 applications disk.
We have assumed that a modest cost would be in order to obtain the product, but neither the customer nor ourselves feel that the product is worth the considerable cost of a HPUX licence for Mirrordisk/UX
I have made the assumption that mirrordisk on 10.20 applications disks would not install and run on 10.10 - please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks, Geof

Re: MirrorDisk on HPUX 10.10
Am I missing something here? Are you asking for a bootleg codeword for an HP product?

Re: MirrorDisk on HPUX 10.10
If you do not have Mirror/UX you can manually duplicate your boot disk to another disk. This is the process.
* Assuming current LVM boot disk is on c1t2d0 and you want to duplicate to c2t2d0.
# pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0
# mkdir /dev/vgroot; mknod /dev/vgroot/group c 64 0x010000
# vgcreate /dev/vgroot /dev/dsk/c2t2d0
# mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0
# mkboot -a "hpux (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0
# lifls /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0
==> do lifcp of all other boot utilities from c1t2d0 to c2t2d0.
# lvcreate -C y -r n -n lvol1 /dev/vgroot
# lvextend -L 84 /dev/vgroot/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c2t2d0
==> creating and extending boot lv (/stand)
# lvcreate -C y -r n -L 2048 -n lvol2 /dev/vgroot
==> creating swap LV
# lvcreate -C y -r n -n lvol3 /dev/vgroot
# lvextend -L 6544 /dev/vgroot/lvol3 /dev/dsk/c2t2d0
==> creating and extending root lv (/)
# lvlnboot -b lvol1 /dev/vgroot
# lvlnboot -r lvol3 /dev/vgroot
# lvlnboot -s lvol2 /dev/vgroot
# lvlnboot -d lvol2 /dev/vgroot
==> update BDRA for boot, root, swap and dump LVs.
# newfs -F hfs /dev/vgroot/rlvol1 ==> /stand must be hfs
# newfs -F vxfs /dev/vgroot/rlvol3
# mkdir /newstand
# mount /dev/vgroot/lvol1 /newstand
# cd /stand
# find . -xdev -depth -print|cpio pxdm /newstand
# umount /newstand
# mkdir /newroot
# mount /dev/vgroot/lvol3 /newroot
# cd /
# find . -xdev -depth -print|cpio -pxdm /newroot
# cd /newroot/etc
# vi fstab
==> edit appropriately
# lvlnboot -R
==> resync vg headers
# setboot -p 0/0/2/0.2.0
==> change prim boot path to new disk (c2t2d0)
The above assume you have /, /stand and swap only. If you have separate /opt, /usr, /tmp mounted for example, perform appropriate lvcreate on those. When it's all done you should be able to boot up from your 2nd disk. From here onwards, you have to manually synchronize bot your boot disks.

Re: MirrorDisk on HPUX 10.10
Sean , How suspicious !
Yes I did miss something out.
Going via online Software Licence Manager, I only had an option for HPUX v11 onwards.
We were quoted a licence price identical to that online for HPUX 11 by a reseller, and I am convinced that we have been only offered a licence for mirrordisk at the current HPUX levels.
I am looking for a licence for a back level system.
We have had licences already for 10.20 and 11.
I am looking for confirmation of the correct channel to get a codeword for the 10.10 applications disks supported by HP or not. But if through these channels the price reflects HPUX v11 on shiny L/N series instead of 10.10 on somewhat more venerable K series, then we are not interested, because the cost then forces us to consider risk and impact of upgrading through 10.20 , maybe to 11,against the risk and impact of retaining status quo on a server that otherwise chugs along merrily.
I like Mirrordisk, and it would be a useful enhancement to the customers system, but not at any price.
Thanks for the bootdisk copy info - yes thats a possible option, but for mirrordisk, I am as interested in covering the database vg as much as rootvg.
Having praised the reliability of the box, this all arose from a recent disk partial failure, that caused some down time, but was successfully recovered from backup after replacing the disks.

Re: MirrorDisk on HPUX 10.10
I would be very concerned if this environment is for production. 10.10 is circa 1995 or so, really old and extremely limited. Now as long as you never add any disks (new disks may be too big for 10.10) or add a new tape drive (like DLT), then you may be OK for a while, but all you can do for reliability is to download and run Ignite/UX regularly as well as clone the root disk as mentioned.

Re: MirrorDisk on HPUX 10.10
geof,
You can run 11i/32bit on a K220.

Re: MirrorDisk on HPUX 10.10
That solves how I get a 10.10 license.
We have decided to quote hardware only on K220, or a px to 11i on a pa8200 platform
Thanks for your input
Geoff
