when I unmirror rootvg / hd5, how to get "bosboot -a" working again with only only one copy of hd5?

eg. I have removed hdisk1 from rootvg, now "bosboot -a" fails, of course "bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0" completes fine.

1. bosboot -a

0301-168 bosboot: The current boot logical volume, /dev/hd5,
does not exist on /dev/hdisk1.

Correcting (with mknod command) /dev/ipldevice major number doesn't fix the problem without rebooting. After reboot all is fine but is there any solution so I don't need to reboot a system?

I think, that is bosboot -a fails, no installp installation which requires executing bosboot will fail.
thx for any tip.

kind regards,Kris

Hi ,

 

In this case you have to relink you ipldevice with hdisk0.

 

ln -f /dev/rhdisk0 /dev/ipldevice.
