Bootlist not updated

[Database Administrator]

Hi,

I try to add a second disk (SAN disk EMC) to the bootlist
only a '-' is displayed after,
do you know why ?

#bootlist -m normal hdisk191 hdisk262
#bootlist -o -m normal
hdisk191 blv=hd5
-

Thanks in advance
AIX 5.2

I hate to make assumptions but you have not told us much about your
system.. The more info you can give the better the response you will
get... anyway..

I gather that both disks are in rootvg? and that they are mirrored?

If they are mirrored, rebuild your blv on hdisk262

bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk262

Any errors or output? what does bootlist say now?

You can also run ipl_varyonvg -i to list all disks that can be made
bootable. Since this is SAN, you may have to take extra steps to make
it bootable.

Alright dude I have a suggestion of wat i would do in ur situation. restart ur pc and load it up in safe mode wit networking. usually you have to tap F8 while ur pc is restarting and it will take u to a black screen with this option.
After choosing safe mode with networking by using the arrow keys and hitting enter on it jus leave the pc to start up. in this mode all the normal drivers like the visuals and junk is turned off so the pc should b moving crazy fast according to how much ram u got. when yr on the desktop screen hit the start menu and on run type in ms config and hit enter. yr pc might ask you if ur sure u want to open the folder just say yes..
