If the system has to be booted from a cdrom or from the network ("boot cdrom" or "boot net") in order to perform maintenance, the operator needs to adjust for the existence of a mirrored operating system. Because these alternate boot devices do not include the drivers necessary for veritas volume manager, they cannot be used to operate on veritas volumes. This raises subtle issues addressed below.

Typically, the administrator is often under pressure while performing these types of maintenance. Because simple mistakes at this stage can render the system unusable, it is important that the process be well documented and tested prior to using it in production.

In the example below, the server pegasus has two internal disks (c0t0d0 and c0t1d0) under VxVM control. The operating system is mirrored between the two devices. Assume that the administrator has forgotten the root password on this server, and needs to boot from cdrom in order to edit the shadow file.

  1. Password forgotten! Insert the Solaris operating system CD into the cdrom drive and boot from it into single-user mode:

    pegasus console login: root
    Password: 
    Login incorrect
    Oct 25 17:33:44 pegasus login: REPEATED LOGIN FAILURES ON /dev/console, root
    
    
    pegasus console login: root
    Password: 
    Login incorrect
    pegasus console login: 
    
    Type  'go' to resume
    ok boot cdrom -s

    INIT: SINGLE USER MODE
    # 
    
  2. Fsck and mount the root disk's "/" partition in order to edit the /etc/shadow file:

    # fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

    # mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a

  3. Remove the encrypted password from the /a/etc/shadow file:

    # TERM=vt100; export TERM

    # vi /a/etc/shadow

    For example, if the entry for the root user looks like the following:

    root:NqfAn3tWOy2Ro:6445::::::

    Change it so that is looks as follows:

    root::6445::::::
  4. Unmount the root filesystem:

    # cd /; umount /a

  1. Since we've updated just one half of the mirror device, one needs to convince Veritas volume manager to not make use of the other half of the mirror. To do this, we "zero out" the public and private regions of rootmirror c0t1d0. When Veritas boots and cannot detect the private region on c0t1d0, it will assume that the disk has failed:

    Remove a disk for replacement
    Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/RemoveForReplace
    
      Use this menu operation to remove a physical disk from a disk
      group, while retaining the disk name.  This changes the state
      for the disk name to a "removed" disk.  If there are any
      initialized disks that are not part of a disk group, you will be
      given the option of using one of these disks as a replacement.

    Enter disk name [,list,q,?] rootmirror
    
      The following volumes will lose mirrors as a result of this
      operation:
    
            rootvol swapvol var
    
      No data on these volumes will be lost.
    
      The requested operation is to remove disk rootmirror from disk group
      rootdg.  The disk name will be kept, along with any volumes using
      the disk, allowing replacement of the disk.
    
      Select "Replace a failed or removed disk" from the main menu
      when you wish to replace the disk.
    
    Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) 
    
      Removal of disk rootmirror completed successfully.
    
    Remove another disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)

      Use this menu operation to specify a replacement disk for a disk
      that you removed with the "Remove a disk for replacement" menu
      operation, or that failed during use.  You will be prompted for
      a disk name to replace and a disk device to use as a replacement.
      You can choose an uninitialized disk, in which case the disk will
      be initialized, or you can choose a disk that you have already
      initialized using the Add or initialize a disk menu operation.
    
    Select a removed or failed disk [,list,q,?] list

    ,list,q,?] c0t1d0 The following disk device has a valid VTOC, but does not appear to have been initialized for the Volume Manager. If there is data on the disk that should NOT be destroyed you should encapsulate the existing disk partitions as volumes instead of adding the disk as a new disk. Output format: [Device_Name] c0t1d0 Encapsulate this device? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) n c0t1d0 Instead of encapsulating, initialize? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) y The requested operation is to initialize disk device c0t1d0 and to then use that device to replace the removed or failed disk rootmirror in disk group rootdg. Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) Replacement of disk rootmirror in group rootdg with disk device c0t1d0 completed successfully. Replace another disk?
