HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Routine Management Tasks

Once the command completes, proceed to the next step.
5. Physically disconnect the bad disk and connect the replacement.
6. If you are replacing a mirror of the boot disk, set up the boot area on the disk.
a. If this is an HP Integrity Server, partition the disk using the idisk command,
as described in HP-UX System Administrator’s Guide: Logical Volume Management.
You do not need to run insf or pvcreate, since you are replacing an existing
physical volume.
b. Use the mkboot command to set up the boot area:
mkboot /dev/rdsk/cntndn
On HP Integrity Servers, use the -e and -l options to the mkboot command
to copy EFI utilities to the EFI partition:
mkboot -e -l /dev/rdsk/cntndn
c. Update the root volume group information:
lvlnboot -R /dev/vg00
7. Restore LVM configuration information to the added disk:
vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vol_group /dev/rdsk/cntndn
8. Reattach each link to the physical volume using pvchange:
pvchange -a y /dev/dsk/cntndn
or reattach all the detached links in the volume group using vgchange:
vgchange -a y /dev/vol_group
Once any links to the physical volume are reattached, LVM will synchronize the
data on the disk with other mirror copies of the data. There is no need to manually
synchronize the mirrors using vgsync.
9. If any of the logical volumes on the disk had a non-default timeout assigned, restore
the previous timeout:
lvchange -t value /dev/vol_group/lvoln
