Joe,
At the risk of stating something un-useful and/or unnecessary, we have had to
install a proper VTOC onto any hard drive we load into our Solaris boxes. That
may occur in the scripts Sean mentions below, but I have never had call to use
them. If you would like further instructions, you can contact me off line and
I will be glad to send you my write up. It might be useful to know that we are
running Solaris 8 - as you may recall.
Matt

Hi,
* Is there a command to un-mirror the Production System AW51E external
hard drives 1st, or can I simply power down the secondary drive and move it to
the Test Bed AW51E and use it as the primary drive?
Yes, dft unmirror_sys Have a read of B0193ND it has some good information on
mirrored drives. Foxboro released a mirror backup script that unmirrors the
drive then backs up to tape the unmirrored drive with out the need to shut down
a box.
Why don't your tapes work though?

UNIX folks,
I have a Production System Node with an AW51E V6.3 with external mirrored hard
drives (P0918BM 18.2GB), and a duplicate Test Bed Node; yes, they were legally
purchased and licensed. I have had no luck restoring the backup tapes from the
Production System AW51E to the Test Bed AW51E. Plan B being considered is to
move one of the mirrored drives (secondary) from the Production System AW51E to
the Test Bed AW51E (primary) and reboot from it.
I could then add a 2nd drive to each AW51E and re-mirror them. Am I dreaming
or can I get this to work? Questions:
* Is there a command to un-mirror the Production System AW51E external
hard drives 1st, or can I simply power down the secondary drive and move it to
the Test Bed AW51E and use it as the primary drive?
* I believe there is a partition created on one or both drives (?)
that automatically handles the mirroring tasks. Is it created on both drives?
Just checking in with the list for advice on how to proceed if this is a
workable solution.
PS. Just so no one thinks I have gone mad, this concept worked perfectly well
on the Windows-NT Nodes.
Thanks in advance.
