Procedure for replacing primary, alternate pathed, mirrored bootdisk on a Sun StorEdge[TM] A5000 |
|
9 Jul 2002 |
This procedure is for replacing a primary bootdisk that is located in an A5000,
dual pathed with AP 2.1, mirrored with Vxvm.
If there is a vxapslice on this disk -
1) apconfig -D
2) apdb -d /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s?
otherwise continue from here
3) vxdiskadm opt#4 "Remove Disk for Replacement"
4) vxdiskadm opt#11 "offline removed disk"
5) luxadm remove_device <BoxName>,f/r#
6) luxadm insert_device <BoxName>,f/r#
7) apdisk -u -p <primaryPath> -a <AlternatePath>
8) apdb -C
9) touch /devices
10) drvconfig -i ap_dmd
11) apconfig -R
12) vxdctl enable
13) vxdiskadm opt#5 "Replace failed disk"
Wait until all rootdisk volumes are re-synced ...
If you do have patch 105463-07 or later on SEVM 2.5, or you do not
have patch 106606-02 or later on SEVM 2.6, or you are running a
release prior to SEVM 2.5 then you will need to create slices for
/usr, /opt & /var (if applicable).
14) vxprint -th -g rootdg
15) /etc/vx/bin/vxmksdpart -g rootdg <swap-subdisk> 1 0x03 0x01
16) /etc/vx/bin/vxmksdpart -g rootdg <usr-subdisk> <slice#> 0x04 0x00
17) /etc/vx/bin/vxmksdpart -g rootdg <var-subdisk> <slice#> 0x07 0x00
18) /etc/vx/bin/vxmksdpart -g rootdg <opt-subdisk> <slice#> 0x00 0x00
19) prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c?t?s?s2
20) Edit /etc/vfstab.prevm or the comments in /etc/vfstab to reflect
any renumbering of the slices.
If there was a vxapslice on this disk
21) vxedit rm rootdiskAPDB
22) vxapslice rootdisk
23) apdb -c /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s?
Finally you should schedule some downtime to change the boot disk's device
path in the NVRAM.
At the OBP prompt ...
24) nvunalias disk
25) nvalias disk <PathToPrimaryBootDisk>
26) boot <PrimaryBootDisk> or boot disk
