Volume Manager 2.6, Solaris 2.6 (sorry...) Failing root disk was swapped with using vxdiskadm (as I understand, this was done by one of my colleagues). Server would not boot from mirror (sorry don't have the exact error to hand, searching on the web suggested that the mirror was corrupt).
Brought system up off the root mirror on underlying slices following http://www.eng.auburn.edu/pub/mail-lists/ssastuff/rootdisk.html but vxconfigd failed : vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: enable failed: Error in disk group configuration copies No valid disk found containing disk group; transactions are disabled. vxdisk list showed no disks. vxdg init rootdg vxdisk list now shows all disks & those originally in oracledg appear to be intact. Slices 3 & 4 on root mirror are available so encapsulated this disk & rebooted. Encapsulation is failing on reboot, apparently because vxconfigd still will not start. Any suggestions? I'm a bit rusty on Volume Manager & probably never got into it at this level anyway... thanks, Phil Phil Weber Business Technology (Egg) Storage Technical Services - Senior UNIX Technologist ----------------------------------------- Egg is a trading name of the Egg group of companies which includes: Egg plc (reg no 2448340), Egg Financial Intermediation Ltd (reg no 3828289), and Egg Banking plc (reg no 2999842).
