I did a make_recovery tape of our production (rp7410) and loaded it on
our test (rp5450) machine. but had two oddities or something, the
first oddity is the root password I entered on the setup screens
(systems tab), will not work. The second is the mirrored boot drive
lost its mirroring which maybe normal I can't remember.
Well I have no clue about the root password oddity.
The second, I went through my notes on getting the boot drive mirrored
and bootable, but must be missing something as when I do a lvlnboot -v
I get
lvlnboot -v
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 (0/0/1/1.0.0) -- Boot Disk
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0 (0/0/2/0.0.0)
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Root: lvol3 on: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0, 0
I've tried a number of things (too many to type here) to get c2t0d0 to
indicate its bootable but can't get it. Anyone have an idea what I
might need to do?
I tried:
vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmin" /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
lvlnboot -R
vgsync /dev/vg00
setboot
and
mkboot -l /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0
lvlnboot -R
setboot
