Hi,
Our rootvg ran out of space. Currently we have 2 x 18Gb mirrored HDDs.
We want to upgrade to 2 X 72Gb HDDs. (
AIX 5.2-9 running on 7026-6H1).
I want to make sure that everything goes OK when IBM replaces the hard drives.
First I did,
# mksysb -i -v -V /dev/rmt0
to create a bootable backup. I got warning that boot image is larger than 12Gb, but I verified that I have IY53546, IY56839 and firmware is CM060505.
Once they replace the hard drives, I'll boot from tape and restore the backup. After that I'll use # extendvg and increase the volume groups and then file systems (JFS) on fly.
Is there anything that should concern me? Any experience?
Thanks a lot...
