Disk to Disk Copy
Notes:
1.This service aid cannot be used to update to a different size drive. The service aid only supports copying from a SCSI drive to another SCSI drive of similar size.
2.Use the migratepv command when copying the contents to other disk drive types. This command also works when copying SCSI disk drives or when copying to a different size SCSI disk drive. Refer to System Management Guide: Operating System and Devices for a procedure on migrating the contents of a physical volume.
This selection allows you to recover data from an old drive when replacing it with a new drive. The service aid recovers all LVM (Logical Volume Manager) software reassigned blocks. To prevent corrupted data from being copied to the new drive, the service aid aborts if an unrecoverable read error is detected. To help prevent possible problems with the new drive, the service aid aborts if the number of bad blocks being reassigned reaches a threshold.
This service aid requires that both the old and new disks be installed in or attached to the system with unique SCSI addresses. This requires that the new disk drive SCSI address must be set to an address that is not currently in use and the drive be installed in an empty location. If there are no empty locations,then one of the other drives must be removed. Once the copy is complete, only one drive may remain installed. Either remove the target drive to return to the original configuration, or use the following steps to complete the replacement of the old drive with the new drive.
1.Remove both drives.
2.Set the SCSI address of the new drive to the SCSI address of the old drive.
3.Install the new drive in the old drive's location.
4.Install any other drives that were removed into their original location.
To prevent problems that can occur when running this service aid from disk, it is suggested that when possible this service aid be run from the diagnostics that are loaded from removable media.
