| The nimadm migration worked fantastically. Now to destroy old_rootvg, mirror hdisk0 back to hdisk1, then change bootlist back to hdisk0. However, the only way I can find to destroy the old_rootvg is through smitty, but smitty (the commands it executes) wants old_rootvg to be vary'd on (varyonvg old_rootvg), but this command can't find the device(?) and wants me to run redefinevg before it will vary on old_rootvg. I'm reluctant to go forward. The question is what to do now? I want to destroy old_rootvg (this contains the old 4.3.3 os), extendvg rootvg hdisk0, mirrorvg -c 2 rootvg hdisk0, bootlist -m normal hdisk0 hdisk1, bootlist -ad /dev/hdisk0. Suggestions? Mike |

The documentation says to use alt_disk_install -X old_rootvg. This needs to run on the client, so ftp the file over (binary) and chmod 755 alt_disk_install, then ./alt_disk_install -X rootvg. Worked nicely. The other way someone suggested is to use exportvg old_rootvg to remove it. Didn't try that. I did run into another problem adding the disk back with extendvg rootvg hdisk0 in that extendvg complained that hdisk0 already belonged to a vg. Running extendvg -f rootvg hdisk0 fixed that problem. Then I ran mirrorvg -c 2 rootvg hdisk0, then manually ran syncvg -l LVNAME on those things that came up stale. All is well, thanks for the help. Mike |
