Procedure to boot from the mirrored boot disk when system is not running:
1. boot system to single user mode from cdrom:
# boot cdrom -s
or from network:
# boot net -s
2. mount the mirror device
# mount /dev/dsk/c8t20000011C637232Cd0s0 /a
3. Determine the TPD mirror path
# ls -l /mnt/dev/dsk/c8t20000011C637232Cd0s0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 47 Oct 21 09:33 /mnt/dev/dsk/c8t20000011C637232Cd0s2
-> ../../devices/scsi_vhci/ssd@g20000011c637232c:a
4. Set the 'dmp_tpd_root_device' tunable in the vxdmp.conf to
the mirror device path:
# ksh
# export TERM=vt100
# vi /mnt/kernel/drv/vxdmp.conf
#
# comment out 'dmp_tpd_root_device' for boot device:
#
# dmp_tpd_root_device="/scsi_vhci/ssd@g2000000087146f57:a";
#
# set 'dmp_tpd_root_device' to mirror device:
dmp_tpd_root_device="/scsi_vhci//ssd@g20000011c637232c:a";
5. boot the mirror
# umount /a
# shutdown -g0 -i0 -y
ok> boot <mirror_devalias>
