Unable to load One of the V-par in SD

Dear All ,

 

We are unable to load the 3 Nos of V-pars where we have a 7 Nos V-pars in SD.

Briefly..

 

MON>vparload -all

vpar1   2  4  5  are booting  and successfully booted .

 

But remainig 3 are throwing the message like..

"Partition does not have a boot device specified "

 

MON>vparload -p Vpar3  -E 0

vpar "Vpar3" failed to load the kernel due to :non_bootable boot media : incorrect vpars software installed : or incorrect boot media EFI path in vpar database try using "vparload -p Vpar3  -E 0 " to load the vpar

Error loading "Vpar3" shutting down "Vpar3"

MON>"Vpar3" has halted.

 

thks & Rgds

Is the boot disk correctly defined for these vPars?  It appears that either the boot disk has gone bad or that you are attempting to boot from a disk that is not bootable.

Run 'vparextract -l' from any of the running vPars and view the log.  You will see what device paths are being attempted.

Re: Unable to load One of the V-par in SD

What I see is that you are missing your boot disk for whatever reason:

 

Here are the primary and alternate paths setup for that vPar:

 

INFO:CPU18:MON:Found primary boot path=[6/0/0/1/0.0.0.0.0.0.0].
INFO:CPU18:MON:Found alternate boot path=[6/0/1/1/0.0.0.0.0.0.0].

 

The primary boot path is being attempted, but is not found:

 

Loading.: 6/0/0/1/0.0.0.0.0.0.0

Load of 6/0/0/1/0.0.0.0.0.0.0 failed: Not Found

 

You provided a mapping from that vPar and we can see that only the alternate boot device is shown:

 

Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,601)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(Part1,Sig8CDB71CE-07D5-11E2-8000-D6217B60E588)
Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,601)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)
Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,601)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(Part1,Sig8CDB71CE-07D5-11E2-8000-D6217B60E588)
Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,601)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(Part2,Sig8CDB71E2-07D5-11E2-8000-D6217B60E588)
Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,601)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(Part3,Sig8CDB71EC-07D5-11E2-8000-D6217B60E588)
Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,601)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun2,Lun0)
Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,601)/Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun1,Lun0)

 

 

So, assuming that the alternate device is a mirror, boot from that disk and troubleshoot your missing disk:

   # vparboot -p ERP_CI_PDN -B alt
