Hi sysadmins,
I have a 4.3.3 system with this rootvg defined logical volumes:
# lsvg -l rootvg
rootvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
hd6 paging 64 128 2 open/syncd N/A
hd8 jfslog 1 2 2 open/syncd N/A
hd4 jfs 2 4 2 open/syncd /
hd2 jfs 77 154 2 open/syncd /usr
hd9var jfs 4 8 2 open/syncd /var
hd3 jfs 3 6 2 open/syncd /tmp
hd1 jfs 1 2 2 open/syncd /home
hd7b sysdump 4 4 1 open/syncd N/A
hd7 sysdump 4 4 1 open/syncd N/A
lv00 jfs 32 64 2 open/syncd /informix
#
As you can see, there isn't hd5 lv.... and no boot logical volume.
If I execute lslv hd5:
# lslv hd5
LOGICAL VOLUME: hd5 VOLUME GROUP: rootvg
LV IDENTIFIER: 000002183308e6b7.1 PERMISSION: ?
VG STATE: active/complete LV STATE: ?
TYPE: boot WRITE VERIFY: ?
MAX LPs: ? PP SIZE: ?
COPIES: ? SCHED POLICY: ?
LPs: ? PPs: ?
STALE PPs: ? BB POLICY: ?
INTER-POLICY: minimum RELOCATABLE: no
INTRA-POLICY: edge UPPER BOUND: 32
MOUNT POINT: N/A LABEL: None
MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY: ?
EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes
#
But if I try to recover it:
# bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0
0516-022 lslv: Illegal parameter or structure value.
0301-168 bosboot: Current boot logical volume, /dev/hd5,
doesn't exist in /dev/hdisk0.
#
That would be normal, because hd5 doesn't exist.
But, I can't create new hd5 nor new logical volume into rootvg.
Mysteriously, I've reboot the system... and it can do it.
Where is it finding boot device?
This is my bootlist:
# bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk0
hdisk1
#
How can I fix it, and redefine hd5?
Thanks in advance
