Re: Q: mirror boot disk for IA64

well, it's not SO different afterall.
I assume you have 11.23, otherwise the sizes of the patitions may be different.
First we have to partition the disk(s) accordingly.
IA-64 has three partitions, so we make them first:
- ioscan -fnCdisk
Lets assume the disk is /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 (0/1/1/0.1.0)
- mksf -H 0/1/1/0.1.0 -s 1
- mksf -H 0/1/1/0.1.0 -s 2
- mksf -H 0/1/1/0.1.0 -s 3
- mkfs -r -H 0/1/1/0.1.0 -s 1
- mkfs -r -H 0/1/1/0.1.0 -s 2
- mkfs -r -H 0/1/1/0.1.0 -s 3

I'm going to do it for HP-UX 11.31, and "man mkfs" does not indicate an option
"-r". I guess you meant "mksf". I'm surprised that I'll have to create the
special device files before the partitions. I woul expect to partition the
disk, and then HP-UX would automagically find the devices.

If you create partitions using idisk - devices special files are not
created automatically. Run "insf -e" to recreate all DSFs
including the one required for new partitions.
