Thanks for the quick response pressy!
No- the disks are not mirrored! This is development and we have only 2 disks!!
We do not have 'metareplace' but I did read the manual pages for 'luxadm' - Any idea where I can get more info/details?
I will look around for more info - Don't mean to be a slacker! but meanwhile it'll be of great help if you can provide more detailed instructions on 'how to do it'!
-- Our situation
Disk 0 -> root + some data
Disk 1 -> data
Disk2 -> New/replacement for Disk0
--
I was thinking something on these lines...
1. Replace Disk1 with Disk2
2. format - label- create partions on Disk2 similar to Disk0
3. ufsdump '/' to mount point under Disk2.
4. Replace Disk2 slot with Disk 1
5. shutdown
6. Replace Disk0 with Disk2
7. Bootup
8. Then what......?
Thanks!

Got a V490 with one existing root disk. Other disk slot was never populated.
Want to ensure we've got disk mirroring.

Whats best way to achieve this without losing current disk? (1 Reply)

volreattach
volreattach(8) System Manager's Manual volreattach(8)
NAME
volreattach - Reattaches disk drives that have once again become accessible
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/volreattach [-rb] [accessname...]
/usr/sbin/volreattach -c accessname
OPTIONS
The volreattach utility has the following options: Calls the volrecover utility to attempt to recover stale plexes of any volumes on the
failed disk. Performs the reattach operation in the background. Checks whether a reattach is possible. No operation is performed, but the
name of the disk group and disk media name at which the disk can be reattached is displayed.
DESCRIPTION
The volreattach utility attempts to reattach disks using the same disk group and media names they had before detachment.
This operation may be necessary if a disk has a transient failure, or if some disk drivers are unloaded or unloadable when the Logical
Storage Manager is started, causing disks to enter the failed state.
If the problem is fixed, the volreattach command can be used to reattach the disks without plexes being flagged as stale, as long as the
reattach happens before any volumes on the disk are started.
The volreattach command is called from the voldiskadm menus as part of disk recovery.
The volreattach utility tries to find a disk with a disk group and disk ID matching that of the disk(s) being reattached. If the matching
disk is found, the reattach operation may still fail if the original cause (or some other cause) for the disk failure still exists.
EXIT CODES
A zero exit status is returned if it is possible to perform a reattach. Otherwise, non-zero is returned.
