  • 1.  "bootlist -m normal -o" doesn't return any disks after setting normal bootlist

    Running AIX 5300-05-05 on p670 LPAR.
    After mirroring rootvg and setting new bootlist, I'm getting some wierd results:

    > extendvg rootvg hdisk1
    > mirrorvg rootvg hdisk1
    > bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk0
    > bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk1
    > bootlist -m normal hdisk0 hdisk1

    So far everything completed successfully and rootvg is mirrored per command "lsvg -l rootvg". But here's what I get when I review the bootlist:

    > bootlist -m normal -o
    -
    -

    > bootlist -m both -o
    -
    -
    hdisk0 blv=hd5
    hdisk0 blv=hd5

    The disks and system look OK otherwise (all available, etc) and in fact SAP is up and running on the system.

    So what's going on?

    I think that you are not seeing an error message when you run the bootlist command. When I run the command you posted, I get the following:

    1. bootlist -m normal hdisk0 hdisk1
    0514-229 bootlist: Multiple boot logical volumes found on disk 'hdisk0'.
    Use the 'blv' attribute to specify the one from which to boot.

    If you are getting the error listed above, then the command should be formatted like this:

    1. bootlist -m normal hdisk0 blv=hd5 hdisk1 blv=hd5

    Which results in:

    1. bootlist -m normal -o
    hdisk0 blv=hd5
    hdisk1 blv=hd5

    Thanks for the sugggestion, but I don't think my problem has to do with multiple boot LVs.

    Here's the results:

    > bootlist -m normal -o
    -
    -
    > bootlist -m normal hdisk0 blv=hd5 hdisk1 blv=hd5
    > bootlist -m normal -o
    -

    Hi,
    Check your hdisk's are bootable or not by
    1. ipl_varyon -i

    PVNAME BOOT DEVICE PVID VOLUME GROUP ID
    hdisk0 NO 00001047375ac230 000010472822f021
    hdisk1 YES 000010472822e532 000010472822f021

    In this case hdisk0 is not bootable

    1. bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk0

    you will get output like

    bosboot: Boot image is 6955 512 byte blocks.
    and

    1. ipl_varyon -i

    PVNAME BOOT DEVICE PVID VOLUME GROUP ID
    hdisk0 YES 00001047375ac230 000010472822f021
    hdisk1 YES 000010472822e532 000010472822f021
