Hi,
We are having one standalone box running on Solaris8. VxVM 3.5 is installed on
this box. Accidentally we lost our single rootdg disk, hence vxconfigd is in
disable mode. WE have tried so many things to create rootdg with some other
disk, so that we can put vxconfigd in enable mode, but we could not succeeded.
We want to upgrade this VxVM to version 5 MP 3. Minimum VxVM version required
for this is 3.5 MP4, which we do not have right now. So we need to un-install
VxVM manually and then to install VxVM 5 MP3.
I want to deport all my diskgroups before uninstalling VxVM so that there
should not be any data corruption.
Can anyone suggest me what is the best way to do it? Also will I be able to
access my volumes after server reboot?
Currently I am unable to run any VxVM command like vxdg,vxprint,vxdisk etc,
linuqdb1# vxdctl mode

linuqdb1# vxdg list

linuqdb1# vxprint -htv
