How to mirror between two SAN disk in HP-UX 11.31

[ranin_das]

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for your message

When OS is booting from primary disk , it is failed. Then I run  boot vmunix -lq  in HPUX> and  finally OS boot and I  correct the setting in /tmp/AUTOFILE by boot vmunix -lq.

When I again reboot the OS , it boot failed again and do same task as before. So how to solve it permanently.

Please check the bellow output.

The space is still missing.

Please check the contents of

again. Then do

bash-4.3# efi_cp -d /dev/rdisk/disk4_p1 /tmp/AUTOFILE /EFI/HPUX/AUTO
bash-4.3# efi_cp -d /dev/rdisk/disk14_p1 /tmp/AUTOFILE /EFI/HPUX/AUTO

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for your quick response with message.

I have checked the contents and run both command again as bellows.  Now OS is booting  from primary OS  witout any error. But  same issue occured when primary disk is unpresent and OS is failed from alternate disk.  Please check bellow output. 

Finally I run reconnect -r  in shell> and then select alternate disk and then OS is booted.

bash-4.3# cat /tmp/AUTOFILE
boot vmunix -lq

bash-4.3# efi_cp -d /dev/rdisk/disk4_p1 /tmp/AUTOFILE /EFI/HPUX/AUTO
bash-4.3# efi_cp -d /dev/rdisk/disk14_p1 /tmp/AUTOFILE /EFI/HPUX/AUTO

So I think , configure for autoboot from alternate disk  may not be correct.

Hope response from anyone from HP-UX expert end.

I don't know if you have done all steps to make the second disk bootable.

Have you done

mkboot -e -l /dev/rdisk/disk14

[ranin_das]

Hi  Torsten.,

Bellow steps is done for mirror by me.   Pls check all and reply if need to any change for solution.

Here later I have changed /tmp/auto to /tmp/AUTOFILE as per your recommendations.

****First take the output of below commands: ****
#ioscan -N -fnC disk
# ioscan -funC disk
# ioscan -m dsf
# ioscan -m lun
# bdf
# setboot
# dmesg | grep -i "boot device"

2. Use the following commands to determine the size in megabytes of the (1) EFI, and (3) HPSP partitions on the current boot disk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /usr/sbin/diskinfo -b /dev/rdisk/disk4_p1 \
| awk '{print $1 / (1024)}'
499.969
# /usr/sbin/diskinfo -b /dev/rdisk/disk4_p3 \
| awk '{print $1 / (1024)}'
400

3. Create an IPF partition description file to create the EFI and OS partititions using your favorite method. Theses two example shows how to create a IPF description file with an EFI partition of 500 Megabytes and a HPSP partiiton of 400 Megabytes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-4.3# vi /tmp/idf
"/tmp/idf" [Incomplete last line] 3 lines, 20 characters
3
EFI 500MB
HPUX 100%
HPSP 400MB

4. Use idisk to perform the disk partitioning in the available drive using the file created above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# idisk -wf /tmp/idf /dev/rdisk/disk14 -->disk14 is mirror disk
bash-4.3# idisk -wf /tmp/idf /dev/rdisk/disk14

7. Use mkboot to format and populate the newly created EFI partition:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# mkboot -e -l /dev/disk/disk14

8. Change the AUTO file on both boot disks to hpux -lq so the host can boot without quorum if one mirror disk fails.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# printf 'boot vmunix -lq' > /tmp/auto

# efi_cp -d /dev/disk/disk14_p1 /tmp/auto /EFI/HPUX/AUTO

9. Run the pvcreate command on the character device file for the HP-UX (second) partition of the mirror disk, using the "-B" flag to make the disk bootable, and the "-f" flag to overwrite any pre-existing data on the disk.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# pvcreate -f -B /dev/rdisk/disk14_p2

10. Extend the root volume group to the HP-UX partition of the mirror disk, using the block device file of the second (HPUX) partition.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/disk/disk14_p2

11. Starting with the boot, swap, and root logical volumes, run lvextend to mirror each logical volume:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#lvextend -A y -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/disk/disk14_p2 (m:mirror )
#lvextend -A y -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2 /dev/disk/disk14_p2 (lvol2 : swap lv)
#lvextend -A y -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol3 /dev/disk/disk14_p2
#lvextend -A y -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol4 /dev/disk/disk14_p2
#lvextend -A y -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol5 /dev/disk/disk14_p2
#lvextend -A y -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol6 /dev/disk/disk14_p2
#lvextend -A y -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol7 /dev/disk/disk14_p2
#lvextend -A y -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol8 /dev/disk/disk14_p2

12. Run the following lvlnboot commands to reestablish LVM’s knowledge of the root and boot file systems and primary swap and dump.
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -R

12. Run the following lvlnboot commands to reestablish LVM’s knowledge of the root and boot file systems and primary swap and dump.
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
# /usr/sbin/lvlnboot -R

13. Add the block device special file of the HP-UX (second) partition of the mirror to the file /stand/bootconf. The lower case "l" in the following command indicates that the disk is managed by LVM or VxVM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /usr/bin/echo "l /dev/disk/disk14_p2" >> /stand/bootconf

14. If desired, set the alternate boot path to the mirror_disk using the Lunpath H/W Path. Check step 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /usr/sbin/setboot -a 35/0/2/2/0/0/1.205.2.255.0.0.0 (mirror disk:14 legacy HW path, also collect from sam)

15. If the mirror disk includes an HPSP partition, use the efi_fsinit command on the character device file for the HPSP (third) partition to initialize it with an EFI file system.

# /usr/sbin/efi_fsinit -d /dev/rdisk/disk14_p3

=====================================================================================================================================================================================
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

After done all above command, pls check bellow before OS reboot:

1.check boot device
#dmesg | grep -i "Boot device"

2. check both boot path
#setboot
3.check or add the alternate path in this location : # cat /stand/bootconf OR vi /stand/bootconf

bash-4.3# cat /stand/bootconf

l /dev/disk/disk4_p2
l /dev/disk/disk14_p2

4.check the VG (show PV used :2)
# vgdisplay -v vg00

5.To check booth the disk are boot able:
bash-4.3# vgcfgrestore -n vg00 -l
Volume Group Configuration information in "/etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf"
VG Name /dev/vg00
---- Physical volumes : 2 ----
/dev/rdisk/disk4_p2 (Bootable)
/dev/rdisk/disk14_p2 (Bootable)

6.Check LVM boot pointers.
# lvlnboot -v

[Torsten.]

The procedure looks good.

I miss one step.

7a) efi_fsinit -d /dev/rdisk/disk14_p1

7b) mkboot -e -l /dev/rdisk/disk14

Then copy the AUTOFILE again.

Just to be sure perform

setboot -p /dev/disk/disk4

setboot -h /dev/disk/disk14

setboot -a /dev/disk/disk14

setboot -v

Please log the complete output while booting and attach if it failes again.

Hi  Torsten.,

I have run your provided bellow command

7a) efi_fsinit -d /dev/rdisk/disk14_p1

7b) mkboot -e -l /dev/rdisk/disk14

#cat /tmp/AUTOFILE

boot vmunix -lq

Then run bellow command

#setboot -p /dev/disk/disk4

#setboot -h /dev/disk/disk14

#setboot -a /dev/disk/disk14

#setboot -v

bash-4.3# setboot

This means the OS loader was started (from UEFI area), but did not find the kernel.

This is set by the lvlnboot -b/-r ... commands you performed.

You either did a typo or there was any error / warning message that you did not capture.

I guess we have to repeat some of the steps.

Hi all,
What can I do now for solution ?
Please share full steps here for mirror if anyone have.
Otherwise we are failed here.

Hi All,

Please share the process for solve my issue if you have ..

Waiting for prompt response from your end. ..

Hi Torsten,

if you have any total procedure , pls share which helpful for me.
