To clone an LVM rootvg that is enabled for DMP

1. Show the DMP node names.

   # vxdmpadm native list
   PATH                      DMPNODENAME
   ==============================================
   hdisk75                   ams_wms0_491
   hdisk76                   ams_wms0_491
   hdisk80                   ams_wms0_491
   hdisk81                   ams_wms0_491

2. Verify that the DMP node is the rootvg.

   # lspv | grep -w rootvg
   hdisk75  00c408c4dbd98818  rootvg  active
   hdisk76  00c408c4dbd98818  rootvg  active
   hdisk80  00c408c4dbd98818  rootvg  active
   hdisk81  00c408c4dbd98818  rootvg  active

3. Show the DMP paths for the target disk.

   # vxdmpadm getsubpaths dmpnodename=emc_clariion0_137
   NAME     STATE[A]   PATH-TYPE[M] CTLR-NAME ENCLR-TYPE        ENCLR-NAME ATTRS
   =============================================================================
   hdisk59  ENABLED(A) PRIMARY      fscsi0    emc_clariion0_137 emc_clariion0 -
   hdisk62  ENABLED    SECONDARY    fscsi0    emc_clariion0_137 emc_clariion0 -
   hdisk65  ENABLED(A) PRIMARY      fscsi1    emc_clariion0_137 emc_clariion0 -
   hdisk68  ENABLED    SECONDARY    fscsi1    emc_clariion0_137 emc_clariion0 -

4. Remove the disk from DMP control.

   # /etc/vx/bin/vxdiskunsetup -C emc_clariion0_137

   # vxdisk rm emc_clariion0_137

5. Clone the rootvg.

   # alt_disk_install -C -P all hdisk59

   Bootlist is set to the boot disk: hdisk59 blv=hd5

6. Set the boot list to include all the paths to emc_clariion0_137.

   # bootlist -m normal hdisk59 hdisk62 hdisk65 hdisk68 blv=hd5

   Verify that the boot list includes all paths and that each path shows the default boot volume hd5:

   # bootlist -m normal -o
   hdisk59 blv=hd5
   hdisk62 blv=hd5
   hdisk65 blv=hd5
   hdisk68 blv=hd5

7. Reboot the system.

   # reboot
   Rebooting . . .

8. Verify the DMP configuration.

   # vxdmpadm native list
   PATH                      DMPNODENAME
   ==============================================
   hdisk59                   emc_clariion0_137
   hdisk62                   emc_clariion0_137
   hdisk65                   emc_clariion0_137
   hdisk68                   emc_clariion0_137

9. Verify the lspv output shows the path names.

   # lspv | grep -w rootvg
   hdisk59  00c408c4cc6f264e    rootvg    active
   hdisk62  00c408c4cc6f264e    rootvg    active
   hdisk65  00c408c4cc6f264e    rootvg    active
   hdisk68  00c408c4cc6f264e    rootvg    active
