Hello all, I'm in a sticky situation with my LSM configuration on an Alpha800 with 4 drives and tru64 5.1 The drives dsk0 and dsk1 are a mirror and have everything on them, system and user files, there's only one partition used on dsk2 and it's nothing useful, then dsk3 was supposed to be a spare. I recently had a drive failure on dsk1 (dsk3 was not there at the time to be used as a spare), so the system kept on going on dsk0 until I replaced dsk1 and manually re-created the mirroring, then added dsk3 as a spare. However I wasn't able to create extra LSM configuration copies and the only one was on dsk0 and some glitch must have happened with dsk0 which caused a reboot. The system tries to boot normally from dsk0 and then can't find osf_boot and stops. I manually force a boot from dsk1 and it only boots to single user and fails bcheckrc during the disk naming and LSM can't start because no configuration copy can be found. I can't mount and other filesystems, so I don't have access to any useful utility to help fix this and no access to a saved LSM config copy. All I have is the root filesystem available. All drives are 18gigs and basically only dsk0 and dsk1 are used, what is on dsk2 isn't vital and dsk3 is just a hot spare. I tried a few things but none worked because I don't have access to most commands. What could I try to start restoring this??? -- Didier Godefroy mailto:[email protected]
