a. Use efi_cp to copy the AUTO file from the original boot disk’s EFI
partition to the current directory. Make sure to use the device file
with the s1 suffix, as it refers to the EFI partition:
efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c n t n d n s1 -u /efi/hpux/auto ./AUTO
b. Copy the file from the current directory into the new disk’s EFI
partition:
efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c3t1d0s1 ./AUTO /efi/hpux/auto
Step 7. Use the lvextend command to mirror each logical volume in the root
volume group onto the desired physical volume. The logical volumes
must be extended in the same order that they are configured on the
original boot disk. Use the pvdisplay command with the -v option to
determine the list of logical volumes and their order. For example:
pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 | grep ’current.*0000$’
00000 current /dev/vg00/lvol1 00000
00038 current /dev/vg00/lvol2 00000
00550 current /dev/vg00/lvol3 00000
00583 current /dev/vg00/lvol4 00000
00608 current /dev/vg00/lvol5 00000
00611 current /dev/vg00/lvol6 00000
00923 current /dev/vg00/lvol7 00000
01252 current /dev/vg00/lvol8 00000
In this example, mirror the logical volumes as follows:
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2 /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol3 /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lv0l4 /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol5 /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol6 /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol7 /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol8 /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2
If lvextend fails with following message:
"m": Illegal option
then HP MirrorDisk/UX is not installed.
Step 8. Update the root volume group information:
lvlnboot -R /dev/vg00
