Re: Damaged hd5

Doesn't it have to be the first partition on the disk too?

the problem is that the existing hd5 is damaged, so a new one must be
created with mkboot

Hmmm. Doesn't hd5 content get written using bosboot? And then to
activate it,
update your bootlist.

Subject: Damaged hd5

One of my servers (AIX 5.2 ML07) had a disk problem. I've got a couple
of block-relocation and related errors.

Unfortunately, rootvg wasn't mirrored as in the past there wasn't enough
disk space. However, there have been some changes and with a bit of
shuffling around I was able to free up a suitable disk and ran a
mirrorvg.

Alas! It failed! All the LVs were created but hd5 and hd6 could not be
synchronised - presumably because they're on damaged portions of the
disk.

I think I can deal with hd6 by doing a swapoff then deleting it and
re-creating it. But how do I deal with hd5?

Can I delete the LV then re-create it? If so, how? I'm sure I've done
this in the past - re-create a missing boot LV, anyway - but can't
remember how at the moment. I'm hoping you might be able to save me
some time!

Thanks,
