Veritas replace disk help - comp.unix.solaris

I have never done a Veritas replacement disk. The disk that failed is our boot drive that is mirrored. The system is running. I googled around it seems vxdiskadm, options 4 (Remove a disk for replacement) and then 5 (Replace a failed or removed disk) are the steps. I am waiting for Sun to show up with the replacement drive. After picking option 4 (have not tried waiting for the new disk). What kinds of questions will it ask or require. I was reading in one thread the Sun label may be missing? # vxdisk list DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS c1t0d0s2 auto:sliced rootdisk rootdg online c1t1d0s2 auto:sliced - - online c1t2d0s2 auto:cdsdisk internal01 internal online c1t3d0s2 auto:cdsdisk internal02 internal online c3t0d0s2 auto:cdsdisk external01 informix online c3t0d1s2 auto:cdsdisk external02 informix online c3t0d2s2 auto:cdsdisk external03 informix online c3t0d3s2 auto:cdsdisk external04 informix online c3t0d4s2 auto:cdsdisk external05 informix online c3t0d5s2 auto:cdsdisk external06 informix online - - rootmirror rootdg failed was:c1t1d0s2 Thanks Gary

Installed drive and waited for the green LED and var/adm/messages sees the drive vxdiskadm #5 does not see the new hard drive. I called Sun and they had me issue the following command which then allowed #5 to see it: vxdctl enable DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS c1t0d0s2 auto:sliced rootdisk rootdg online c1t1d0s2 auto:sliced rootmirror rootdg online c1t2d0s2 auto:cdsdisk internal01 internal online c1t3d0s2 auto:cdsdisk internal02 internal online c3t0d0s2 auto:cdsdisk external01 informix online c3t0d1s2 auto:cdsdisk external02 informix online c3t0d2s2 auto:cdsdisk external03 informix online c3t0d3s2 auto:cdsdisk external04 informix online c3t0d4s2 auto:cdsdisk external05 informix online c3t0d5s2 auto:cdsdisk external06 informix online This is the list after I ran #5. Is the another command that shows the status of the rebuild? Thanks Gary

View the status of the volumes in the disk group with 'vxprint -g rootdg'
