Restoration - files/groups/permissions

Hi Barry,

If you are *sure* that nothing else is on dsk1, you can force the creation with the -F option...

# mkfdmn -F /dev/disk/dsk1c

I'd probably sanity check the disk label first just to make sure:

# disklabel -r dsk1

The c partition is usually the whole disk, so for a 17GB disk you should have the c partition with a size of around 35556389 and offset of 0.

Cheers,

Rob

Ensure that the disk is not used by any domains in /etc/fdmns/*.

You can try by zeroing the partition label:

disklabel -z dsk1
disklabel -rw dsk1

Hi,

Finally managed to get the server up and running - so thanks a lot for all your help and advice as it's what kept me going (especially Rob).

Got a couple of oracle errors now which i will have to resolve as i cant get into the database (stack overflow error, proc oracle).

I cant reboot the server still as i get the error as last time (might need to contact HP as it looks like the RAID controller might be broken)

Once again thanks for everything

cheers
