An administrator is removing a failed disk from a mirrored rootvg volume group. A message directed the administrator to run the chpv -c command. The administrator ran this command against the last available disk in rootvg. What is the result of performing this action?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. The boot record was removed from the system. The chpv -c command is specifically designed to clear and remove the boot record from a physical volume. When executed against the last accessible disk in rootvg, no other disk retains a boot record, so the system's boot record is completely removed, leaving the system in an unbootable state until the boot record is recreated with bosboot.

Answer

A. The failed drive is removed from the bootlist. Modifying the bootlist is performed with the bootlist command, not chpv -c; chpv -c operates on the physical boot record written to the disk, not the NVRAM bootlist.

Answer

C. The ipldevice was re-linked to the available disk device name. Re-linking ipldevice to an available device is a separate recovery step distinct from what chpv -c does; chpv -c removes the boot record rather than updating any device symbolic links.

Answer

D. The boot record was updated with the available disk information. Updating the boot record with new disk information is the function of the bosboot command, not chpv -c, which removes the boot record rather than refreshing or updating it.
