APPENDIX A

Have the customer engineer replace the faulty disk, and then perform an install according to chapter 2 of the "Installing HP-UX 10.01 and Updating from HP-UX 10.0 to HP-UX 10.01" manual, part number B2355-90078. When performing the creation of the volume group, make sure that you specify the SAME sized logical volumes as you originally had on your system. If you had any logical volumes that spanned from the root disk across to other disks in the volume group, simply create the logical volume the size it has on the root disk. For our example, we will have to install with the following parameters:


        Root logical volume : 104 Mb    lvol1
        Primary swap        :  48 Mb    lvol2
        /usr                : 300 Mb    lvol3

Note here that /usr on our original system is actually 400 Mb, but we are creating it here with only 300 Mb, which is the size of the logical volume on the root disk.

Note: Only include the boot disk in the LVM configuration when you are doing the install. If you include any other disks, you risk overwriting valid data.
