I have a Sparc system with encapsulated disks.
Because of disk errors I had to replace rootdisk,
I did it with
vxdiskadm 4)
replacement, vxdctl disable/enable,
vxdiskadm 5)
After it it the system boot failed, dropped back to the ok> prompt, message was:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
I could boot up only from the rootmirr only.
vxdisk list shows
The question is that vxdiskadm 4/5 handles the installation of the boot record too on the replacement root disk or there is necessary an additional step to install it ? I found UFS related installboot recommendations and vxrelated one too.
As I checked towards I found another disk in the volume instead of the replacement c0t0d0:
And as I found the partitioning of c0t0d0 is compleetly different from the rootmirr_1 c1t0d0s2.
I don't understand what went wrong ... Have to create the slices by hand first, only then I can use the vxdiskadm replace function ?
Hello,
On 4/20/2018, we performed a disk replacement on our IBM 8202 P7 server. After the disk was rebuilt, the SAS Disk Array sissas0 showed a status of degraded. However, the pdisks in the array all show a status of active.
We did see a message in errpt. DISK ARRAY PROTECTION SUSPENDED.
