copy boot-disk, HP-UX 11.0

[Michael Bluemm_1]

Hi,
I had to change a defective bootable hard disk. Now I want to copy /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 to /dev/dsk/c2t2d0
1. how to copy?
2. how to control?
Thanks, Michael

[harry d brown jr]

explain to us what is on /dev/dsk/c1t2d0.

If /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 is your current boot disk and you want to have /dev/dsk/c2t2d0 eventually become the boot disk, then there are a few options:

mirror

or

ignite recovery

live free or die

Hallo Harry,
the new disk has to boot, too.
No ignite-tape available, so I want to mirror.
Bye, Michael

Michael,

Provided you are using LVM on your system, here is a document I use to help me setup root disk mirroring. I in the process of adding the root mirror recovery procedure.

Hope this helps,
Dwyane

# vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00 /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0
# vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
# mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0
# mkboot -a "hpux (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0
# lvlnboot -R
# lvlnboot -v
should be simular to mine below
