volboot file missing in HP-UX having Vxvm installed
Hi,
we have a HP-UX 11iv3 server in which is running on vxvm(bootdg).
After reboot this server is showing volboot missing error.
System Console is on the Built-In Serial Interface
afinet_prelink: module installed
AF_INET socket/streams output daemon running, pid 46
Starting the STREAMS daemons-phase 1
Swap device table: (start & size given in 512-byte blocks)
entry 0 - major is 2, minor is 0x1; start = 0, size = 16777216
Starting vxconfigd in boot mode (pre_init_rc).
NOTICE: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-34 added disk array DISKS, datype = Disk
VxVM vxconfigd ERROR V-5-1-1589 enable failed: Volboot file not loaded
transactions are disabled.
VxVM vxconfigd FATAL ERROR V-5-1-946 Rootdg cannot be imported during boot
Error returned from vxconfigd -m boot, halting
ERROR: The configuration could not be locked. It may be in use by

Done
I tried to boot in vxvm maintainance mode(hpux -vm) as well as single user mode but getting same error.
On internet found out that it can be created again using below command in recovery mode
# vx_emerg_start -m hostname
but not able to find the steps how to do ?

Re: volboot file missing in HP-UX having Vxvm installed
To restore a missing or corrupted /etc/vx/volboot file
- Boot the system into maintenance mode.
- Run vxconfigd in disabled mode:
# vxconfigd -m disable
- Reinitialize the volboot file:
# vxdctl init hostid
# vxdctl add disk sda privoffset=2144
- Reset vxconfigd in boot mode:
# vxconfigd -kr reset -m boot
- Use the following command to confirm that VxVM is running:
# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
sda sliced rootdisk bootdg online
sdb sliced rootmir bootdg online
sdc sliced - - error
- Reboot the system.

Re: volboot file missing in HP-UX having Vxvm installed
Thnx for the reply but my system even not able to boot in maintainance mode.
So i re-installed the server using ignite.
