Replace both internal Disk

[Sp4admin]

Hello Group,

I have to replace both my internal disk from 35Gb to 73Gb. I plan on doing this via ignite recovery tape. The only question I have is there are two other vg's on the internal's vg02 and vg03. My ignite only recovers the vg00 volume group correct? Will I need to rebuild the other two volume group's? Can I use fbackup and what are the commands. The reason for this is to be able to upgrade the OS.

L-Class L1000
HPUX 11.11
ignite Version C.6.1.44

Thanks in Advance,
sp,

If your Ignite image only gets vg00 (which is a good thing) then you don't even actually have to backup the other two disks (although I assume that you have normal backups). I would do this: Before you start the Ignite recovery, I would pull the disks which house vg02 and vg03 out just a few centimeters. (Don't physically remove them completely unless you have the blank disk modules so that proper air flow will be maintained.) Sliding them out just a little will prevent you from doing something stupid during the recovery. Now after you have vg00 restored, you can simply vgimport the vg02 and vg03 disks and you are done.
