Subject: Rosebud, et al

From: Matt Braun <mhbraun@MIT.EDU>
Rosebud somehow trashed its root disk again (just weeks before it was going to
go away). It took a while for it to be determined that it was in fact a disk
problem not an nvram problem (like the error message indicated)
Instead of waiting for the Bell Atlantic Service call, I took the root disk
out of waxwing (which was sitting powered off) after making sure that the
srvtabs and keyfiles were gone (this took some time because waxwing could not
be brought on the net).
After a lot of hand work rosebud should be back.
It is a AIX 3.2 machine running 7.7 now (the root was reinstalled)
The broken disk is sitting on top of waxwing (which is near th East server
rack ).
John & JJ: How do you want this handled wrt Bell Atlantic ? Will they just
take the disk ? With luck (depending how fas R^2 delivers, the rs6k rosebud
should be going away within a month if you want to wait to get the old disk
with the server.
Thanks goes to mhpower, hartmans, jered, jhawk, & ghudson for the bulk of the
work.
Matt
