Booting the System Off an Alternate Plex

Booting the System Off an Alternate Plex

Once you have plexed the Root volumes, you can boot off a secondary plex if the primary plex becomes unavailable. Because the boot PROM does not understand logical volumes, you must manually reconfigure the system to boot the system from the disk that contains the alternate plex. The procedure for booting the system off a secondary plex depends on the model of workstation or server. The first subsection below, "CHALLENGE L, CHALLENGE XL, and CHALLENGE DM" is for those systems. For all other workstations and servers you must follow the procedure in the second subsection, "All Other Models."
