1.  Detach the physical volume from volume group:

# pvchange -a n /dev/dsk/cXtXdX

2.  Hot swap the disk.

3.  Restore the LVM reserved areas (PVRA/VGRA):

# ioscan # insf –eH <Hardware Path> # vgcfgrestore –n vgXX /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

Is a bootable disk? No, jump to step 6.

4.  Repopulate the LIF area:

# mkboot /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

5.  Change the AUTO file contents to the proper mode:

A)  Primary boot disk.

# mkboot –a “hpux” /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

B)  Alternate boot disk.

# mkboot –a “hpux –lq” /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

6.  Reattach the new disk:

# pvchange -a y /dev/dsk/cXtXdX

7.  Reactivate the volume group to attach the physical volume.

# vgchange –a y vgXX

Note: In case that the volume group don’t start to synchronize the logical volumes automatically, you can force synchronization with:

# vgsync vgXX

8.  Use lvlnboot to ensure that the LVM logical volumes are prepared to be root, primary swap or dump volume.

# lvlnboot -R # lvlnboot -v
