Regarding hpux 11.31 and replacing a mirrored boot disk

[Season Chu]

Hi

I am new into hpux 11.31.
Now I'm replacing a mirrored boot disk. With regard to "How to change the auto file for the mirror to boot without quorum ？" Someone tells me it has two solutions.
S1： # echo "boot vmunix -lq" > /tmp/AUTO.lq
# efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0s1 /tmp/AUTO.lq /EFI/HPUX/AUTO
S2: # mkboot -a "hpux –lq " /dev/rdisk/disk2

My doubt is whether the S1 is equivalent to S2 ?

Thanks in advance.

S1 is for Itanium machines (rx models), S2 is for PA-RISC (rp models).

Use the correct version for your hardware model. The procedures are different because Itanium and HP-UX have very different bootloaders.

Hi,

My doubt is whether the S1 is equivalent to S2 ?

S1 is the EFI partition
S2 is the HPUX partition

Please read the below document.

sorry ..I didn`t read the question correctly.

S1 -- > For Itanium
S2 ---> For PA-RISC

But the doc "When Good Disks Go Bad: Dealing with Disk Failures Under LVM" will help you for replaying the disks.

Thanks MK and Aneesh.
But if I work it in Itanium machines,Could I take the S2 to change the auto file for the mirror to boot without quorum ?

Hi,

No. Command itself will fail. This is what people clearly told in previous replies, first command is meant for itanium and second is meant for PA RISC servers.
