switching disk after ignite install

[Catherine Forget]

Hi, I install HP-US11i from my ignite server on the disk at SCSI id 6 of my C3000.
When I tried to put that disk in the slot 5 of the same w/s, but it just won't boot. I get all kind of panic messages.
Is that normal?
I did not thought that ignite was hardcoding the scsi id on the disk while installing.

Thanks

Catherine,

I'm confused why you would want to switch the disk? The device address is going to be recorded in all the LVM headers on the disk at the very least. If you want to have your boot disk be in slot 5, then put it there and install onto it while it's in slot 5.

thanks for the answer. I was curious.

Hi Catharine,

Try this and see if it works. I am not sure if this is going to work - but give it a try. Maintenance mode refers /stand/rootconf for mounting / and /stand. I believe /stand/rootconf doesnt have any kind of reference to the device file.
