Hi all,
I'm trying to get together a procedure allowing us to clone system disks
from a read only SAN attached disk and alter them for use with different
machines. The OS alterations are almost complete but I've struck a
problem with LSM rejecting the disk as a clone when I boot it up from
the new hardware. The device database has been rebuilt for the new
machine and the disk device special files are the same as they were in
the original LSM configuration so the rest of the LSM config should
match up.
I can see from a previous summary that the question has been asked
before but not really answered - how can I change the LSM config to
recognise the wwid of this disk and not reject it as a clone? In the
example shown below I've unencapsulated root, user and var to get the
machine to boot but I'd prefer not to have to do that either. Building
the mirror online using LSM is not what this customer was wanting so I'm
hopeful that with the help of the list I'll be able to get this working.
Thanks in advance,
Danielle.
