How to mount root filesystem in recovery mode.

[Guna_2]

Hi

i booted my machine in recovery mode from cd. In that place i want to mount my / from lvm. But i am not understanding how can i specify the hardware path.

And i listed /dev/dsk directory. It shows a file cxtxdxs1lvm. What is this s1lvm


Can any one guide me

cxtxdxs1lvm is the root fs and you have to use this logical volume for mounting .

You first would have to activate the root VG (e.g. vgchange -a y vg00), and then mount the LV like its fstab entry.

Once vg is activated, you need to execute the following for mounting:

/sbin/fs/vxfs/mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2lvm /ROOT
/sbin/fs/hfs/mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1lvm /ROOT/stand
