Operating Systems Solaris Solaris and vxvm ( really old versions) Post 302753119 by Martincorneuk on Tuesday 8th of January 2013 11:28:38 AM

I'm now having an issue with Solaris ..... I'm running off my root mirror and have done a vxdiskadm option 4 on the root disk .... I've replaced the rootdisk with an 18gb disk and need to vxdiskadm option 5 back in, however .... When I try to run vxdiskadm I get
Code:
/usr/bin/vxdiskadm: Cannot create lock file /var/spool/locks/.DISKADD.LOCK

:0/
If I go to /var/spool/locks it's in there
Code:
rm /var/spool/locks/.DISKADD.LOCK
rm: /var/spool/locks/.DISKADD.LOCK not removed: No such device or address


If I do a pwd
Code:
/usr/bin/pwd: No such device or address

So it looks like a Solaris issue to me....
Checked in /usr/bin and pwd is in there ok.....

Any suggestions?

It's gone from bad to worse.
After investigation, a general consensus was the 2.5.1 was not very good and often required a reboot ..... which I duly did .... uh-oh....

The system failed to boot from the rootmirror.
I put the original rootdisk back in. Failed to boot.
It wont even boot from a cdrom .... just getting Fast Access Data MMU Miss errors....

Was supposed to be an easy job :0/
at the moment it's goosed
