All solaris rescue gurus out there .... I've a Solaris 2.6 E450 on which my sysadmin guy has deleted every file (not sub-directories) from the /etc directory. The machine is (was) running Vxvm with the root volume encapsulated. I've tried booting from CDROM, mounting the root volume...

vmstat -d with VxVM

I've got a Linux box that I'm pretty sure is having some disk issues. iostat isn't installed, but vmstat is, so i've been trying to use that to do some initial diagnostics while I go through our company's change control process to get iostat installed. The problem I'm having is that the disks...

VxVM on Solaris.

Hi, Quick question if anyone knows this. Is there a command I can use in Veritas Volume manager on Solaris that will tell me what the name of the SAN I am connected to? We have a number of SANs so I am unsure which one my servers are connected to. Thanks.

VxVM and MPxIO

:confused: Last week I read that VxVM won't work with MPxIO (i don't recall the link) and that it should be unconfigured when installing VxVM. Today I read that VxVM works in "pass-thru" mode with MPxIO and DMP uses the devices presented by MPxIO. If I create disks with MPxIO and use VxVM to...

vgrestore

vgrestore(1M)															     vgrestore(1M)

NAME

       vgrestore - restore a VxVM disk group back to an LVM volume group

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/vx/bin/vgrestore vg_name

DESCRIPTION

       The  vgrestore command restores a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume group that was previously converted to a VxVM disk group by the vxvm-
       convert utility.

ARGUMENTS

       vg_name
	    Specifies the name of a volume group that was converted to a VxVM disk group by the vxvmconvert utility.

EXIT CODES

       vgrestore exits with one of the following values:

	0   Successful completion.

       >0   Failure; an error occurred.

WARNINGS

       vgrestore functions only on VxVM disk groups that were converted from LVM volume groups by the vxvmconvert command.

       It is a good idea to back up user data before running vgrestore, and restore it after  the  vgrestore  completes,  as  vgrestore  can  only
       restore	a logical volume back to the state it was in before conversion to VxVM.  If data changed on the volume while it was a VxVM volume,
       the changes won't be reflected on the volume after being restored to LVM.

       As part of the original conversion process, applications that once referenced the now-converted LVM volume's path names may have changed to
       reference  VxVM	volume special device file names.  Alternatively, special device file path names originally representing the now-converted
       LVM volumes may have changed to symbolic links pointing to the VxVM volume path names.  Be sure to undo these actions when  restoring  back
       to LVM.

       Do  not	use vgrestore unless you are certain that you want to restore LVM volume groups.  After vgrestore this is run, the VxVM disks will
       no longer exist.

EXAMPLES

       To restore the LVM volume group vg03 that was converted by vxvmconvert to the VxVM disk group dg03, enter:

	      vgcfgrestore vg03
