ignite with mod20 disk arrays

[Stephanie L Davenport]

I am trying to load hp-ux 10.01 on a k420 with two mod20 disk arrays. I am getting an error message no matter how I set up the disks. These are the hardware paths:

10/4/4.6.1
10/4/12.5.1
10/4/4.6.0
10/16/12.6.0
10/16/12.6.1
10/4/12.5.0
10/16/4.5.0
10/16/4.5.1
10/0.5.0
10/0.6.0


This is the error I get:

The root volume group parameters specified may result in a non-bootable configuration. (The root volume group is the volume group containing the root file system.) You must go to the “Modify Volume Group Parameters” screen and adjust the parameters. Reducing the “Maximum Physical Extents” or “Maximum Physical Volumes” parameters will probably have the most effect. (To compensate for fewer physical extents, you may need to increase the “Physical Extents Size” parameter.) You may need to move very large disks into a separate volume group or limit the number of disks in the root volume. See your LVM documentation for more information.


This is how I have it laid out:

vg00 = / (on internal 4GB drive)
vg01 - vg04 = everything else (on the disk arrays)

I don't understand the error since the only thing on that disk are swap and /. And, there are no other file systems in that volume group.

Stephanie:

Are you saying that you have, evrything else meaning: /stand, /home, /opt, /usr, /var, etc in other volume groups than vg00?

Actually, I've tried it both way. everything in one volume group, seperate group, same physical disk, different physical disks... nothing seems to work. It is getting quite frustrating. This is similar hardware (K400 to a K420).

HELP! :)

I ended up letting ignite decide how to set everything up.
