normal backup/restore procedures.

Any volumes that had plexes removed as part of the volume cleanup can

have these mirrors recreated by following the instructions for mirroring

a volume with the vxassist command as described in “Mirroring

Guidelines”.

To replace the plex removed from volume v03, use the following

command:

# vxassist mirror v03

Once you have restored the volumes and plexes lost during

reinstallation, the recovery is complete and your system is conﬁgured as

it was prior to the failure.

Hot-relocation Startup At this point, the Administrator should reboot

the system or manually start up hot-relocation (if its service is desired).

Either step causes the relocation daemon (and also the vxnotify

process) to start.

To start hot-relocation, ﬁrst start the watch daemon. This sends email to

the administrator when any problems are found. To change the address

used for sending problem reports, change the argument to vxrelocd

using one of the following commands:

# nohup /usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxrelocd root &

# nohup /usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxrelocd root > /dev/null 2>&1

To determine whether or not hot-relocation has been started, use the

following command:

# ps -ef | grep vxrelocd | grep -v grep
