Recovery by reinstallation

If you configured VxVM rootability by installing via Ignite-UX, reinstalling from a saved Ignite-UX configuration is usually sufficient to recover a failed boot disk.

See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide .

Complete reinstallation of the software is only necessary if all copies of your boot (root) disk are damaged, or if certain critical files are lost due to file system damage. If these types of failures occur, any volumes that are not directly involved in the failure do not need to be reconfigured.

On an HP-UX 11i version 2 system, it is preferable to recover the system by booting from a VxVM root disk mirror, or by booting from recovery media.

See "Recovering a system by booting from a VxVM root disk mirror" on page 37.

See "Recovering a system by booting from recovery media" on page 38.
