Our offshore team tried to do some patching for me over the weekend, and while I'm not completely sure of how we got into this state, I know it started with them forgetting to put the alt_rootvg back to sleep before rebooting the server.
Our process is this: Clone/update_all using alt_diskinstall. Wake up alt_rootvg, do more patching.. put alt_rootvg back to sleep and then reboot.
Since he forgot the step that puts it back to sleep, the system wouldn't boot. And that's where the steps get fuzzy.. I can see where he removed the alt_rootvg disk, cleared it's pvid, etc.
And somehow now, we're left with a system that appears to be up and functional, but it's booted off of old_rootvg. The rootvg is there when you do lsvg, but not when you do lsvg -o. There is also no pv with rootvg on it.
lsps -a returns errors, because there's no active rootvg. I can't reclone, remirror, etc to try all the normal things I would do to get out of this.
Hello all,

Hello again, I have a script on my media server that wakes up my backup server, performs an 'rsync' backup, then shuts the backup server down. Currently, I have it send the Wake on LAN packet, and sleep for 5 minutes, just to give the backup server time to boot (of course it doesn't take that long,... (11 Replies)

sleepctl
SLEEPCTL(1) General Commands Manual SLEEPCTL(1)NAME
sleepctl - enable/disable sleepd
SYNOPSIS
sleeptcl [on|off|status]
DESCRIPTION
sleepctl allows temporarily disabling of the sleepd(8) daemon, by a regular user. This can be useful when you're in the middle of a long
download or compile, and don't want the system going to sleep in the middle.
"sleepctl off" makes sleepd not put the system to sleep even if it thinks it is idle. If this command is run more than once, the requests
stack up, and a like number of "sleepctl on" commands must be run to re-enable sleeping. This may be useful if multiple automated processes
or users use the command. Note that the system may still be put to sleep for other reasons, such as a failing battery.
"sleepctl on" re-enables sleeping. If sleeping is re-enabled and sleepd has seen no system activity for some time, and has been prevented
from putting the system to sleep, it may put the system to sleep immediatly.
"sleepctl status" outputs the current status of sleepd.
Note that if the system is forced to sleep by other means, sleepd will not remember what mode it was in when it wakes back up, and will
return to the default mode of putting the system to sleep after some amount of inactivity. This is by design, so you may easily and natu-
rally undo the effects of a "sleepctl off" without remembering to turn it back on.
This program communicates with sleepd by writing to the file /var/run/sleepd.ctl. As such, it needs read/write access to that file. It also
needs to run as whatever user sleepd runs as, so it can hup the daemon.
EXAMPLES
sleepctl off ; wget http://foo/huge.tgz ; sleepctl on
