Not a happy place to be "both root disk failing"

Hi all,

Not worth explaining but basically an engineer has come to replace our faulty mirror and we now have both in a corrupted state and neither can boot.

Anyway I think its going to be a restore from ignite. If we have had addtional disks installed to the system since the image was taken are we going to have problems when it attempts to import the disks?

I assumed not because I thought it did a vgimport with the scan option looking for the correct disks in each volume group so aslong as we have no additional VG's we should be ok

cheers

Probably not. As long as your Ignite image can get vg00 restored then the remainder of the vgimports can be done manually.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Hi Adam Noble

No problem!
You can do that!
When you do restore from ignite, it will check again all of disk device file and create again...don't worry about that...

But after restore completed, if you uses mirrored disk, you have to re-mirroring all of LVM.

Hope this helps
