Full Discussion: AIX break rootvg mirror from system down
Operating Systems AIX AIX break rootvg mirror from system down Post 302942148 by sshapiro on Friday 24th of April 2015 05:59:19 PM

That's what I was just coming to grips with. Ok - first time for everything. I've got a mksysb from a couple of weeks ago. I've burned it (volumes 1 of 3) to a DVD and am trying to do the (re)install. interestingly enough I happen to have a new disk which I've swapped into as a replacement for the bad disk.

ok so far. Boot to that cd which works nicely thank you very much.

Trying to do the restore to the new disk and it is circling around a
image.data has invalid file system data.
Can not continue.

I suppose I could try to extract the image.data and look at it, but even if I could, I doubt I'd be able to "put it back" into the mksysb.

I see two options. (1) try to restore to what I think is a good disk and hope for the best, or (2) do a fresh install, then restore from backups, etc. Kind like not to do that one, but I may not have a choice.

patch update and break mirror

Hi All, How do you know if you need to break the mirror on solaris 8 patch update? Here's the patch example, 117350-54. On the site, it's just a low type update and not a medium or critical. Is breaking a mirror a best practice only or really a requirement to some patch? Thanks, itik (1 Reply)

GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) 					gnome-disk-utility					   GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1)

NAME

       gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be
       used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.

       Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left
       to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc.

       By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this.

RETURN VALUE

       gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
