No- the disks are not mirrored! This is development and we have only 2 disks!!
We do not have 'metareplace' but I did read the manual pages for 'luxadm' - Any idea where I can get more info/details?
I will look around for more info - Don't mean to be a slacker! but meanwhile it'll be of great help if you can provide more detailed instructions on 'how to do it'!
-- Our situation
Disk 0 -> root + some data
Disk 1 -> data
Disk2 -> New/replacement for Disk0
--
I was thinking something on these lines...
Replace Disk1 with Disk2
format - label- create partions on Disk2 similar to Disk0
not a mirror... hmmmm .. that makes it difficult.... your idea to rebuilt the root disk is a good idea....
so lets have a try:
shutdown your server and replace disk1. make a reconfiguration boot, so that solaris know the new disk and i would do that all in single user mode (boot -rs)
yes you have to ajust the partitions... to get the same try:
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
the second part of ufsdump(M) is ufsrestore(M), so you can rebuild your data... now you have to install a bootblock, there must be a command called installblk (?), i don't know the path to your bootblock but when i will have time i will have a look on monday at my company...
after that step the system should run again......
if you need more info it will come on monday or thuesday so hold on
