We will get the above
error only if the rootvg was mirrored priror to taking the mksysb.
As long as your rootvg
was mirrored you can break the mirror and retry the installation. You need to
edit image.data so that you can use it to restore to a single disk.
we need to manually
break the mirror in the mksysb with a custom image.data file.
#mkdir /export/idata
#cd /export/idata
#restore -xqvf
/<path>/<mksysb_file_name> ./image.data
#vi
/export/idata/image.data
for each lv_data stanza.
-Change the COPIES=2 to COPIES=1
-Note the size of the LPs=XX value
-change the PP=YY to match the Ps=XX value
Define a customized
image_data resource:
#smitty nim_mkres
>>Resource Type:
image_data
>>Resource Name:
[nomirror_idata]
>>Resource Type:
image_data
>>Server to
Resource: [master]
>>Location of
Resource: [/export/idata/image.data]
From the steps which
you have you shoud go back and use the following migration command.
#nimadm -s <spot>
-l <lpp_source> -i <image_data> -j <volume group for cache>
-Y -T <old_mksysb_resource> -O <new_mksysb_resource_file_pathname>
-N <new_mksysb_resource>
