Re: converting /stand from hfs to vxfs on Itanium 11.23.
Whether a switch to VxFS would be 'safe' is something I don't know, though.. I have itanium nor 11.23 experience :/
But if your other option is a reinstall, why not satisfy (y)our curiousity and give it a shot ;-)
Cheers,
Wout

Re: converting /stand from hfs to vxfs on Itanium 11.23.
I woul drecommend for safety you should create an Ignite image that is interactive, and recoevr from this making the relevant changes to tell /stand to be a vxfs file system and not hfs

Re: converting /stand from hfs to vxfs on Itanium 11.23.
1. Mirror disk taken out. (lvreduce -m 0)
2. copied /stand files to alternate location.
3. unmounted /stand. Did newfs with vxfs.
4. Copied back kernel files to /stand and mounted as vxfs.
5. updated fstab and reboot.
IT CRASHED. Just can't boot it now. Thinking of re-installing the OS.
Is there any procedure other than re-install?

Re: converting /stand from hfs to vxfs on Itanium 11.23.
If you kept an HFS version of /stand on an alternate boot disk you could boot from that, if you set it up. But it looks like you just reduced the mirror and newfs'd.
You might be able to boot to a recovery shell from the HP-UX install media and recreate /stand as HFS, but I've never tried to do anything like that. To be honest, if there's nothing already on the system and you can take the downtime I'd recommend just calling it a learning experience and reigniting.

Re: converting /stand from hfs to vxfs on Itanium 11.23.
You forgot to do
lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1 before rebooting.
If You want to, you can still fix this, it
requires around 2 hours, been there, done that, but I didn't take notes back then.
Roughly it goes like this:
boot install cd, rescue mode
loadfile vgscan, vgchange and all these
activate vg00
chroot into 'your' system
run lvlnboot now
done.
My failed attempt was at extending /stand, but retried it the day after fixing, and have come up with a stable process; You don't need the remirroring bits, but the notes and such should still help you.

Re: converting /stand from hfs to vxfs on Itanium 11.23.
and, please, next time, just split the mirror by shutting down and pulling the *primary* vg00 disk[s] before testing in low quorum mode. ;)

Re: converting /stand from hfs to vxfs on Itanium 11.23.
Some people had a hangman game going in their boot procedure, and finally we get that option on our superdomes too. not to forget reimplementing a useless partition scheme below lvm, booting of an error-prone FAT32 partition and at random times forgetting about your boot configured paths.
But honestly - it could have been worse, like, i.e. an AMI BIOS.
