Disk Maintenance
This service aid provides the following functions:
Disk to Disk Copy
Display/Alter Sector
Disk to Disk Copy
Notes:
1. This service aid cannot be used to update to a different size drive. The service
aid only supports copying from a SCSI drive to another SCSI drive of similar
size.
2. Use the migratepv command when copying the contents to other disk drive
types. This command also works when copying SCSI disk drives or when
copying to a different size SCSI disk drive. Refer to
System Management Guide:
Operating System and Devices
for a procedure on migrating the contents of a
physical volume.

onto the hard disk or by mounting the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
This selection allows you to recover data from an old drive when replacing it with a
new drive. The service aid recovers all Logical Volume Manager (LVM) software
reassigned blocks. To prevent corrupted data from being copied to the new drive,
the service aid stops if an unrecoverable read error is detected. To help prevent
possible problems with the new drive, the service aid stops if the number of bad
blocks being reassigned reaches a threshold.
To use this service aid, both the old and new disks must be installed in or attached
to the system with unique SCSI addresses. This requires that the new disk drive
SCSI address must be set to an address that is not currently in use and the drive be
installed in an empty location. If there are no empty locations, then one of the other
drives must be removed. When the copy is complete, only one drive can remain
