disk failure mirror vg00

[Scott E Smith]

How do I recover from a boot disk failure of 11.0 if primary disk hardware dies. What are the steps to re-sync system after HW is replaced. Thanks

Hi,

First off shutdown the system and replace
the disk. Once the disk has been replaced
boot the server into single user mode and
bypass the quorum.

ISL> hpux -is -lq /stand/vmunix

Run the following lvm command to initialise and use your new disk.

# vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00 /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
# vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
# mount /usr
# mkboot /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX
# mkboot -a "hpux -lq /stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/CXtXdX
# lvlnboot -R
# lvlnboot -v
# vgsync /dev/vg00
# shutdown -ry 0

We had a failed disk about two weeks ago and this is how I fixed. It should also work for you.

Good Luck
