Hi,

The DU is 3.2D-2, Alpha2100A.

One of the four RZ29Bs in a ADVFS file domain has had a hardware
failure. How do I go about deleting and recreating the domain,
effectively, once I replace the drive ?

        Currently my solution is to boot single user mode, comment out
the file domain in question in /etc/fstab, unlink the rzNN entry in the
/etc/fdmns/domain_name, initialize all four drives and create the
same domain again, and restore data from tape backups. The domain is
not root, or usr or var domain.

Suggestions and comments appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
