Chapter 3. Standalone SCSI rootvg to virtual SCSI 71
7. One of the final actions of the alt_disk_copy command is to set the bootlist to
the newly created altinst_rootvg. Since the aim is to preserve the rootvg,
ensure that the bootlist is set back to the correct volume. Reset the bootlist on
the source standalone system using the AIX bosboot and bootlist
commands:
# bosboot -a -d hdisk0
bosboot: Boot image is 40810 512 byte blocks.
# bootlist -m normal hdisk0
#
# bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk0 blv=hd5
#
On the Virtual I/O Server
Now discover, verify, and map the SAN disk to the correct client logical partition:
8. Perform a discovery using oem_setup_env and the AIX cfgmgr command to
make the target SAN disk available:
# cfgmgr -vl fcs4
9. You can identify the disk using the Virtual I/O Server chkdev command:
$ chkdev -dev hdisk6 -verbose
NAME: hdisk6
IDENTIFIER: 3E213600A0B8000291B0800009D760401BBB80F1815

In this case the PVID and UDID match the values from the previous steps
where you noted down the unique identification values.
Note: If the values do not match then you should stop at this step and
ensure that you have presented the correct SAN disk to the partition.
Failure to do so may result in you overwriting data.
