HELP: recover vxvm data after Solaris 2.6 install

2007-12-25 10:55:00

Here's the scoop:

I only had one respondent to my question. Thanks Kris Briscoe for giving me some

direction.

After perusing the man pages a bit more, I found that vxconfigd uses the

contents of file "volboot" to find disks in rootdg. Although I didn't mention

this, this system only has rootdg disk group. Armed with this info, I did the

following:

1) vxdctl stop

2) restored /etc/vx/volboot from my level 0 backup

3) restored /dev/vx as well but I'm thinking I didn't need to because vxconfigd

recreates this from volboot. But just to be safe...

4) vxconfigd -d

5) vxdctl enable

And voila! The disk group and volume structure reappeared. I remade the mount

points and then I copied my old /etc/vfstab in place.

End of heart failure.

Thanks,
