New to the group.
I have searched the archives, and have not found exactly what I was looking
for.
I have an HP-UX 11i box with two disks in it. The first disk came pre
installed with OS, utilities, licenses, etc. loaded on it. I have the
Mirror UX software/license installed. I want to use LVM to use the second
disk as a mirror cpoy. There was already a PV created for the second disk.
I have added it to the only volume group (vg00), and have used SAM to add 1
mirror copy of each logical volume. lvdisplay looks like the data is being
mirrored. I then realized I needed to make the disk bootable, and write the
boot sectors to it. I did a mkboot on the second disk. I tested it, by
bringing the system down, and swapping disks, but it says it's not
bootable. Since the PV was created at the factory, how can I tell if it has
the boot sectors written? Do I need to reduce the second disk out of the
VG, and blow it away, and then re-label it using "pvcreate -B", and then add
it back to the VG?
In short, how do I make a two disk bootable mirrorset?
TIA,
Rich
