Creating and using emergency recovery media

Creating the Emergency Recovery boot media and tapes

  1. Bring the machine down to init state 1 and log in as root

  2. Run vxconfigd(1M) to start up the ODM configuration daemon

  3. Use vxplex(1M) to disconnect the mirrored root plexes, for example:

    vxplex dis home-02
    vxplex dis home2-02
    vxplex dis rootvol-02
    vxplex dis standvol-02
    vxplex dis swapvol-02
    vxplex dis tmp-02
    vxplex dis var-02

  4. Set up the kernel to ignore the ODM configuration:

  5. Rebuild the kernel:

    /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B

  6. Reboot using the init 6 command.

    If you changed the initdefault entry in Step 4, then you do not need to interrupt the reboot. If you did not change the initdefault entry, when you see the UnixWare logo appear, immediately press <Space> to enter the Bootstrap Command Processor. Enter the command initstate=1, followed by boot. This will cause the machine to boot into single-user mode.

  7. If you edited the initdefault entry in Step 4, change the initdefault entry back to ``3''.

  8. Run the emergency_disk(1M) and emergency_rec(1M) commands.
