I would like to konw wheather below steps are sufficient for mirroring rootvg.
extendvg rootvg hdisk1
mirrorvg rootvg
bootlist -m normal hdisk0 hdisk1
bosboot -ad hdisk0
bosboot -ad hdisk1
or anything needs to be added.
It should be enough.
And after all those steps, you'd better [LEFT]reboot to disable quorum checking on rootvg. The mirrorvg turns off quorum by default, but the system needs to be rebooted for it to take effect.
[/LEFT]
Not necessary from 5.3 TL7 / 6.1 on.
Just to add, that I would probably do it this way:
mirrorvg -s rootvg hdisk91
to prevent sync'ing.
Then you can sync LPs in parallel:
syncvg -P 8 -v rootvg
(i.e. for 8 LP's in parallel)
can any body help I am getting below error while running command extendvg rootvg hdisk1
0516-1398 extendvg: The physical volume hdisk1, appears to belong to
another volume group. Use the force option to add this physical volume
to a volume group.
0516-792 extendvg: Unable to extend volume group.
Please suggest.
LVM expects you to confirm 'recycling' of a formerly used disk by forcing writing new VG information onto it. man extendvg.
Be careful run lspv and check that hdisk1 is not already in another VG before you force it into rootvg!
extendvg -f rootvg hdisk1
