hp ux 11iv1 mirroring disk on rp 4440

[bitou]

hi, i need yr help to solve my issue.
when i try to mirror the disk, the server doesn't boot from the primary path but it boot from the second disk>
my steps:

Mirror Root disk procedure



# pvcreate -Bf /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0
# vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c3t15d0
# mkboot /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0
# mkboot -a "hpux -lq (0/0/2/1.15.0;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0 (0/2/1.15 from ioscan –fnkC disk)
# lvlnboot –v
# for LVOL in /dev/vg00/lv*
> do
> echo $LVOL
> lvextend -m 1 $LVOL /dev/dsk/c3t15d0
> done
# lvlnboot –v
# setboot –a 0/0/2/1.15.0
# setboot –s on

i have done this procedure in 3 servers and i have received the same error, any help please

[Torsten.]

I would do some things different:

3) # mkboot -l /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0
4) # mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0



This is an external disk, but where is the primary?



What is the exact message when booting from the primary? Where it stops?

[bitou]

thanks for yr reply.
but the 2 disks are internal disk.
and the mirror is done locally.

[Torsten.]

You say you took this from ioscan:

0/2/1.15.0

This points to a disk connected to a HBA in slot 7, SCSI ID of 15.



Internal disks start with 0/1/1/... and have SCSI ID of 0 or 1.



Please post an "ioscan -fn".

[bitou]

the 2 disks have the following path:
0/1/0/0.0.0
and 0/1/0/0.1.0

[Torsten.]

but then your procedure is wrong ...

[bitou]

no i have change the path but my procedure is an example i am interested to know if there is a wrong command

[Torsten.]

nobody knows what you really did ...

[bitou]

this is my procedure
# pvcreate -Bf /dev/rdsk/c3t12d0
# vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c3t12d0
# mkboot /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0
# mkboot -a "hpux -lq (0/0/1/0.1.1;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0 (0/0/1/0.1.1;0 from ioscan â fnkC disk)
# lvlnboot â v
# for LVOL in /dev/vg00/lv*
> do
> echo $LVOL
> lvextend -m 1 $LVOL /dev/dsk/c3t12d0
> done
# lvlnboot â v
# setboot â a 0/0/1/0.1.1
# setboot â s on
tell me plz if there is anything wrong!!!!

[Torsten.]

lvlnboot -v

and

setboot

too, please.

and also:

lifcp /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0:AUTO -
lifcp /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0:AUTO -

(Note that there is a space between the O in AUTO and the -)

lifcp: can not open the LIF volume /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0; io error

[Torsten.]

it is sooo easy to use a wrong device file ...

[bitou]

sorry!!!!!!
# lifcp /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0:AUTO -
hpux -lq (0/1/1/1.2.0;0)/stand/vmunix

[Torsten.]

# lifcp /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0:AUTO -
hpux -lq (0/1/1/1.2.0;0)/stand/vmunix


This should be "hpux -lq" only (see my first post).

Still waiting for

# lvlnboot -v
# setboot



Now you have problems to boot from

disk 1 0/1/1/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 36.4GMAS3367

/dev/dsk/c2t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0


right?
