Re: kernel backup
> boot primary
say "y" to interact with ISL question
at ISL prompt, type
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev
this assumes your old kernel is named vmunix.prev
UNIX because I majored in cryptology...

Re: kernel backup
If you have to reboot using your previous kernal if anything messed up. Break the boot sequence and go to ISL prompt do a
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev
You will boot from your previous kernal I am assuming that you changed the parameter using SAM or recompiled the kernal using mk_kernal
Like it or worked !! Click kudos !!

SolutionAfter changing your kernel parameter using SAM if new kernel dont work, please follow the below procedure:
Step 1: Booting from the Backup Kernel:
To boot the backup kernel, /stand/vmunix.prev, boot the system manually as described below:
[POWER] #Power-on the system.
[ESC] #Hit the escape key to interrupt the boot process.
Main Menu> boot pri #Boot from the primary boot disk.
Interact with the IPL? Y #Do interact with the IPL/ISL.
ISL> hpux ll /stand #Shows the content of the boot filesystem /stand
ISL> hpux -is /stand/vmunix.prev #Boot from the original kernel and goto single user
Step 2: Moving the Original Kernel Back into Place
After booting the system, you may wish to make the original kernel the default so future reboots can proceed without any intervention from the administrator:
#mount /usr
# cd /stand #Move to the /stand directory.
# mv system.prev system #Move the original system file back into place.
# kmupdate /stand/vmunix.prev #Move the original kernel back into place.
# shutdown ├в ry 0 #Reboot the system with the original kernel.
**Note 1: If ├в cd ├в or ├в mv├в or ├в kmupdate├в command not work after booting the system into single user mode mount /usr directory.
#mount /usr
**Note2: To Shows the content of the boot filesystem /stand give the following command.This is useful if the kernel cannot be found.
ISL> hpux ll /stand
