All, Thanks for all the responses..i found out that there is no alt.boot disk (as all the disks allotted are used) and coming to mirror I found it by looking at veritas volumescouple of people suggested to use metadb. Muhammad mughal Alex Rick francis Jonathan Steve hastings Here is the response from steve. The way it works is like this: 1. You set the prom settings nvramrc and boot-device 2. Type eeprom and check the following 3. boot-device= This sets the name of the disk to boot the sequence is determines priority. vx-rootmirror is the primary boot disk, followed by vx-root mirror, if you want to boot to the other devices you can use them as an argument for the boot command ie. >ok boot vx-rootmirror example boot-device=vx-rootmirror,vx-rootdisk, net 4. nvramrc= Here you set the name listed in boot-device and declare the hardware path to the device nvramrc=devalias vx-rootdisk /dev/specific/hardwarepath devalias vx-rootmirror /dev/specific/hardwarepath if your devices are set as devalias, in the nvramrc then changing the boot-device=vx-rootdisk, vx-rootmirror, net to boot-device=vx-rootmirror,vx-rootdisk, net would bring the server up on the rootmirror automatically in this case. my original post gurus, This might be a simple question for you all,but am having difficulty in finding out the alternate boot disk and mirrored disk on one of my server..the guy who configured the system left and there is no documentation on this...i checked with eeprom but didn't find any information.... i'll summarize thanks in adnavce roy (beginner) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
