How to recreate efi on alternate boot disk under hpux with lvm

[Andrew Pearce]

Hi,
Under hpux 11 or 11i if you wanted to recreate the lif area to include the diagnostics etc, after a boot/root disk was replaced. I would use the command.

mkboot -b /usr.sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif2 -p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p LABEL -p PAD /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?

with hpux for ia64 11.23 ? How do you do the equivalant on the efi partition. ie to put all the efi options back onto the alternate boot disk? without shutting down the server and interacting with efi and recreating them manually? Hope the above makes sense.

Thanks again for you help.

Hi,

I think you are looking for commands:
1) mkboot -e -l /dev/rdsk/cxtydz
This option causes mkboot to copy EFI utilities from /usr/lib/efi to the EFI partition on the disk

2) efi_cp

I have tried the above link and it does come back stating no documents found.

Can you confirm that the link is valid or the document id is valid. I will try a search on the field replacing a failed disk n itanium
