Re: couldn't query physical volume
thank u for your reply torsten
the disk is mirrored & alternate boot I was going to do the following:
1- initialize boot information on the replacement disk.
Save the hardware paths to the disk.
Run the ioscan command and note the hardware paths of the failed disk as follows:
# pvchange -a N /dev/ddsk/c3t2d0
power off the system to replace disk
Notify the mass storage subsystem that the disk has been replaced.
# scsimgr replace_wwid –D /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
# vi /tmp/partitionfile
3
EFI 500MB
HPUX 100%
HPSP 400MB
Use idisk(1M) command to partition the disk according to this file:
# idisk -wf /tmp/partitionfile /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
idisk version: 1.2
********************** WARNING ***********************
If you continue you may destroy all data on this disk.
Do you wish to continue(yes/no)? yes
- Create the new device files for the new partitions (c3t2d0_p1,_p2_p3)
# insf -e –Cdisk
Now assign the old instance number to the replacement disk.
# io_redirect_dsf -d /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 -n /dev/dsk/(new disk)
Use efi_fsinit(1M) to initialize the FAT filesystem on the EFI partition:
# efi_fsinit -d /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
# mkboot -e -l /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
# efi_ls -d /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
# efi_cp -d /dev/dsk/c3t2d0_p1 -u /EFI/HPUX/AUTO /tmp/x
# cat /tmp/x
boot vmunix
# mkboot -a "boot vmunix -lq" /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
# mkboot -a "boot vmunix -lq" /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
# vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c3t2d0
pvchange –a y /dev/dsk/c3t2d0_p2
# vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
# cd /tmp
# nohup vgsync /dev/vg00 &
# lvlnboot -v
