I've got mirror view installed, and when I come to use my tried and tested mirror method I find I'm missing /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif2,
for the command
mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif2 -p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p PAD -p LABEL /dev/dsk/c2t1d0
From a little research I find that updatediaglif2 is now part of the ODE package, which now appears to be a standalone package.
questions.
1.) is this the only way to mirror root volumes now ? or have I missed the memo that says "do this instead"
2.) ODE is a stadalone product now, but I can't actaully find anywhere in the HP website to purchase it/download it.
3.) What are the license requirments for the updatediaglif2 binary (I suspect the website I can't find in question 2 would answer this)
I find it a bid odd that to now mirror a disk I need to purchase mirror view AND another external product. Mirroring a root disk seems a core function (ODS/Sun LVM - Solaris, mdadm -linux ) am I reading things right that I now have to purchase these multiple products to do a simple root disk mirror, or am I totally out of the loop and missing the new concepts.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: HPUX 11.11 Mirror Disk without ODE
To be able to mirror disks on your HP-UX 11iv1 system you need to have LVM -MirrorDisk installed, which is a purchasable additional product, i.e. :
/home/markme# swlist -l product | grep -i mirror
LVM-MirrorDisk B.11.31 MirrorDisk/UX
This will be especially true with regard to the revision that you are currently on - some of the HP-UX OE's come with it bundled, but you still pay for it.

Mark

Check this page out,
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/hvelasco.admin/LVM%20HP-UX/root.htm#mirror_root
you have to be focused on RAID 1 also.

Re: HPUX 11.11 Mirror Disk without ODE
you need mirrodisk/ux for hpux to mirro disks with LVM
if you have this installed and know the steps then just miss out the bit to copy the diagnostics over? are you likely to ever use them?
its not recomended now, to bother with that part I was told.
It is better to use the latest version on Cd and boot that should the need arise rather than use an old version on the disk
you can order it from here
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PA0809
then install it/copy it if you want or just boot the bootable cd
It is Free

Re: HPUX 11.11 Mirror Disk without ODE
If someone someday will really need it - just download the ISO image from the link mentioned above!
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: HPUX 11.11 Mirror Disk without ODE
1) See below.
2) N/A
3) N/A
Both are PA-Risc only, so they are valid up to 11.23 but not 11.31 or Itanium.
Both are adding ODE files beyond the default loaded by the O/S. I can find no distinction to the number or name of the added files, only that there is a difference between 32 and 64 bit systems.
http://www13.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en&docId=emr_na-c00929130-2

Install the ODE LIF files with mkboot and protect (-p ) the existing LIF files, which are detected with lifls , as described previously.
For 32-bit systems, and systems that support both 32- and 64-bit:
# mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif \
-p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p PAD -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
For pure 64-bit systems:
# mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif2 \
-p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p PAD -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
Check with:

https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PA0809
Mount the CD and run the script
install_lifload.ksh
this is starting a swinstall process and in fact it does this updatediaglif2 to all disks listed in /stand/bootconf.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
