Re: vgcfgrestore

This indicates that there are two disks in vg00. One of the disks is bootable and the other is not. Use the command vgdisplay -v vg00 to see the details. If you are expecting the second disk to be a mirror and bootable in case the first disk fails, the second is NOT configured that way. The command: lvlnboot -v will also give you additional details.

Re: vgcfgrestore

If the second disk was an alternate path, then the disk would be marked as bootable. An alternate path is the same physical disk, so the characteristics will be identical. As I mentioned, vgdisplay -v vg00 will be more informative, as well as the output from lvlnboot -v

Hello,

 

--- Physical volumes : 2 ----

 

(a) You have two physical disks allocated to vg00

(b) You dont have mirroring for vg00

(c)  The disk c1t2d0 has BDRA configured [ your root,stand are on this disk apart from other filessytems ]

(d)  The disk c2t2d0 has no BDRA configured [ This disk is an expanision of vg00 volume group ]

 

regards,

Aneesh

Re: vgcfgrestore

Here is the bad version:

disk2 is the mirror of disk1, but non-bootable = kind of useless

# vgdisplay -v vg00

# lvlnboot -v

# lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol1 ... up to lvol8

will tell.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
