VERITAS Volume Manager™ Release Notes

Overview of VxVM 3.5 for HP-UX

# pvremove /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#

Step 2. Put a disk under Volume Manager control and place in rootdg:

Use vxdiskadm option 1, or VEA.

Step 3. Add a volume to this disk:

Use vxassist or VEA.

Step 4. Add the new volume as a target for dumps:

First make sure you have the UNOF_init_dump patch, then use crashconf as you would under

LVM.

For example;

# crashconf /dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/your_dump_volume

Changing the Boot Disk to be the New Volume Manager Root Disk

Step 1. Get the current boot disk:

# cat /stand/bootconf

Step 2. Extract resultant device path:

# ioscan -k node_path_from_bootconf

Step 3. Change primary boot path back to current boot device:

# setboot -p device_path_from_above

(Use -a if you want to change the alternate bootpath.)

Removing a Mirrored Volume Manager Root Disk

Use the following commands to remove the mirrored Volume Manager Root Disk:

# daname=<c#t#d#> /* of mirrored root disk */

# dmname=`vxprint -g rootdg -F %dmname -e sd_da_name~/$daname/|head -1`

# plxnames=`vxprint -g dg -F "%assoc" -e sd_dm_name==\"$dmname\"`

# vxplex -o rm dis $plxnames

# vxdg -g rootdg rmdisk $dmname
