vxrootmir - mirror areas necessary for booting to a new disk
/etc/vx/bin/vxrootmir
[-vV]
[-o {override|verify}]
[-t tasktag]
medianame
The vxrootmir utility creates a mirror of volumes that are required in
booting (including rootvol).
The mirror is created on the specified disk media device, medianame.
The subdisks are
placed on cylinder boundaries and a partition is created for them.
Note: The specified disk media device must have enough space to contain the
mirror for rootvol and the other volumes that are required for booting.
Slice 0 (zero) must be available for the creation of the root partition.
All disk regions required for booting are set up by invoking the
installboot command, and partitions for the
new volume mirrors are created.
-
-t tasktag
-
If any tasks are registered to track the progress of the operation,
mark them with the tag tasktag.
The tag specified by tasktag is a sequence of
up to 16 alphanumeric characters.
-
-v
-
Executes invoked commands in verbose mode.
-
-V
-
Prints a message when mirroring commences.
Some hardware environments provide guidelines to optimize the VxVM's
interaction with intelligent storage systems. If these guidelines
are present, VxVM follows them when creating volumes
or allocating space for volumes. By default, vxrootmir only
creates mirror volumes that conform to such guidelines.
The following options change the behavior of vxrootmir.
-
-o override
-
Creates a mirror for rootvol, and ignores any storage-specific
guidelines. Overriding the guidelines is not recommended as it can
result in incompatible objects, or in objects that cannot be
administered by VxVM.
-
-o verify
-
Verifies that mirror for the rootvol can be created without violating
any storage-specific guidelines, but does not create the plex. If
any guidelines are violated, vxmirror exits with an error message.
Note: The -o override and -o verify
options require a specific license. Without the appropriate license,
vxrootmir ignores the option.
