AIX

Hi ,

I was migrating an AIX 5.2 system to AIX 5.3.
I have hdisk8 and hdisk2 mirrored under rootvg.

Below is the lscfg -vp output for the disks.

hdisk8 U0.1-P1-I1/Q1-W40AABDDCC800D SSA Logical Disk Drive
hdisk2 U0.1-P1-I1/Q1-W90D6151DEE00D SSA Logical Disk Drive

I had to install the OS on hdisk8. But the migration menu gave me 4 columns.

Disk -OS- Location Code - Size of the Disk
hdisk0 5.2- U0.1-P1-I1/Q1- 4300 MB
hdisk1 5.2- U0.1-P1-I1/Q1-4300 MB

I am confused here - which one is hdisk8 since both disks hdisk2 & hdisk8 have same location Code and menu is not showing them correctly as it should have shown as below:

Disk -OS- Location Code - Size of the Disk
hdisk2 5.2- U0.1-P1-I1/Q1- 4300 MB
hdisk8 5.2- U0.1-P1-I1/Q1-4300 MB



Any help to identify the mapping between location code and hdisk will be of great help.

Boot the system.
Identify hdisk2 with the SSA identify tool.
Shut down.
Remove hdisk2.
Install to the remaining disk.
