MirrorDisk/UX server

[avalentin]

Hi everybody

I have installed MirrorDisk/UX server for Itanium platform, I follow the next procedure to make a mirror boot:

1) pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
2) mkboot -l /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
3) mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
4) vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
5) lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol3 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0
lvextend -m
..(all LVs on vg00)
6) pls check for if:
lvol1 on /stand (this is boot lv)
lvol3 on / (this is root lv)
lvol2 is swap lv

7) lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3 (root on /)
8) lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2 (swap)
lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2 (dump) (optional)
9) lvlnboot -R /dev/vg00
10) lvlnboot -v (to confirm all correct)
11) vgcfgbackup /dev/vg00

In the step 3 when I applied the command the next message appears:

"mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
-a specified but no current boot area on /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0"

I applied the command lvlnboot -v

Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2 (0/1/1/0.1.0) -- Boot Disk
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0 (0/1/1/0.0.0) -- Boot Disk
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Root: lvol3 on: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2, 0

The mirror disk not boot...

Any Idea?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

That's not HP-UX 11i v 1.5 is it?

The -B option to pvcreate is not supported on that version (goodness knows why)
