This may help!!!
In case of a drive failure or replacement of a drive that exhibiting read and
write errors, follow this procedure. It covers, installing 6.2 day 0 software
on to a AW51B 18 GB hard drive (this is done to set up the partitions on the
drive) and restoring the drive from a backup tape/tapes.
Please read the completed procedure, you need to understand it before
proceeding.
To install 6.2 day 0 and restore a backup tape/tapes on a AW51B 18.2 GB hard
drive.
1. Boot with 6.2 day 0 Cdrom.
At the OK prompt type: boot cdrom. (with the 6.2 day 0 cd in the drive)
2. At the login prompt
type: root (logs in to the station)
3. Copy the file md.db.18200.aw51.Z to the /tmp dir
type: cp /cdrom/databases/md.db.18200.aw51.Z /tmp
(copies the file to the /tmp dir for installation on a 18 GB
drive)
4. Install I/A 6.2 day 0 on to the hard drive.
type: ia_install (follow the prompts type of station etc; AW51 B)
5. Check to be sure the station boots after the day 0 load.
type: reboot -- -r (reboots the station to a day 0)
6. After a good reboot, shutdown and halt the AW.
7. Boot station with the day 0 cdrom and do the restore without restoring
the raw partition. The raw partition has the information on the hard drive size
and it is no longer correct. The correct information was placed on the drive
when the day 0 was installed.
Type: boot cdrom (with 6.2 day 0 cd in drive)
Type: restore (with the first or only backup tape in the tape drive)
If the backup was done using the dmp0_8MM command, you will have 3 tapes
continue with instruction 8. The first 2 tapes will be restored.
If the backup was done with the backup command, you will have 1 tape
continue with instruction 9. The first 2 sections of the tape will be restored.
8. Enter the station type AP, AW or WP.
Type: AW
Answer y (yes) to the question: Were these tapes made using a dmp0_8MM utility?
Type: y
Please load tape containing file system dump level 0 tape and press <CR>.
Press enter (this will restore the /, /var, /usr and /opt partitions)
Were these dump tapes created with a concatenated /opt partition? Answer n (no)
type: n (now completing the /opt partition)
Please load tape containing the Informix raw partition and press <CR>.
Load tape 2 Informix tape in to drive. Wait till tape settles.
Press: enter (this will load the Informix data)
Please load tape containing the mirrored_disk raw database /dsk/rdsd/c0t0d0s3
and press <CR>
DO NOT PRESS ENTER.
We do not want to restore the mirrored_disk raw database. Press Ctrl, c this
will stop restore.
The restore is now complete. Restart the station.
Type: halt
At the ok prompt type: boot -r
The station will reboot on the 18 GB drive.
9. Enter the station type AP, AW or WP.
Type: AW
Answer y (yes) to the question: Were these tapes made using a dmp0_8MM utility?
Type: y
Please load tape containing file system dump level 0 tape and press <CR>.
Press enter (this will restore the /, /var, /usr and /opt partitions)
Were these dump tapes created with a concatenated /opt partition? Answer n (no)
type: n (now completing the /opt partition)
Please load tape containing the Informix raw partition and press <CR>.
There is 1 tape when the backup command is used and it contains the Informix
data. You leave the tape in the drive.
Press: enter (Informix data will be located on the tape and loaded)
Please load tape containing the mirrored_disk raw database /dsk/rdsd/c0t0d0s3
and press <CR>
DO NOT PRESS ENTER.
We do not want to restore the mirrored_disk raw database. Press Ctrl c, this
will stop restore.
The restore is now complete. Restart the station.
Type: halt
At the ok prompt type: boot -r
The station will reboot on the 18 GB drive.
10. I would be a good time to make a new backup tape. Be sure to label the
tape software release level, letterbug, the date and that it backed up an 18 GB
drive.

All,
Am attempting to restore an AW51B to a station with 4.2GB hard drive.
Original has a 1GB hard drive I believe. Anyway the restore seems
successful but when rebooting it cycles with "PANIC: vfs_mountroot:
Cannot mount root" Error.
=
Any help would be appreciated.
