Is this a mirror? Did you create with 'pvcreate -B'? Did you do the mkboot commands for mirroring the root drive?

lifsls on alternate disk. Is everything preset on that disk-hpux lable etc.

From PDC, if you do sea ipl, does it list alternate disk??

Hi Roland,

Looks like when you create the mirror, you didnt execute the command below :

# pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0

I refer you the document at this url below for your reference :

Hope this information can help you.

maybe you didn't check -B option
when you typed this command

>pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0
some message showed like this
~~~~~~~~already use volume blar blar ^^

you have to like this
>pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0
>pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0

hello,

if you have done all that it's says before (mkboot command and pvcreate -B) try to do this:

# lvlnboot -Rv

Stf ;-)

Thanks for your help, I forgot the -b option. BTW, if anyone was on the thread I started about "how to swap a 9GB to a 18GB" I was able to successfully break the altroot drive, pull out the 9gb, install a 18, boot up on primary, mirror to the 18GB, reboot, interrupt, boot off of the 18GB drive, and the physical extents were correct for 18GB and I have created addtional filesystems plus increase /opt and /var to fulfill my requirements plus create addtional swap using the entire 18GB drive and then shutdown the system, removed the 9GB prim drive, install a 18GB device and remirror successfully...

how do I assign points?

[Pete Randall]

There should be a "dropdown" box next to each response that you click on and then select the appropriate number of points for each of the answers.

Am I going mad... are there two Roland Rebstocks.. when Roland posted question it says "question Author", but subsequent postings he has "unassigned" against his name....

I'm guessing that one is US login & other is Euro login...

weird...
