modifying vg00 using make_recovery

[Ernest Tamura_1]

We wish to modify the size of the logical volumes on vg00, including /. We
have also purchased a second drive for vg00 which is 9gb whereas the original
drive is 4gb. We want to use the interactive option to recreate vg00. The
problem is that we were told that all other volume groups are destroyed. We
are using os
HP-UX 10.20. How do we recreate vg00 with the modified
logical volume sizes and also retain/recreate the other
volume groups and logical volumes that we have on our disk arrays?

In order to do that, run make_recovery with a -p option (preview). This will
create a file called /var/opt/ignite/recovery/config.recovery. You can edit
this file to make changes to the VG00. Like converting from HFS to JFS or
changing the size of the logical volumes, or changes to the physical disk for
vg00. Once these changes are made, to resume it, use -r option. Hope this
helps.

Atif provided the correct method. I just wanted to clarify that the file
created is "config.recover" and not "config.recovery". Another file
"arch.include" is also created which can be edited to provide additional
functionality to the make_recovery -r. Consult the man page on make_recovery
(specifically the -p option for more info).
