Reboot

Hi,
When I reboot my HPUX server (L class with 2 CPus), then I am able to see that only root disk gets mounted and the other volume groups do not get mounted.
What could be the possible reasons for it....

Check /etc/mnttab. Are there any lines?

The only line there is for the volume group vg00 and no lines for vol. group vg01 or vg02.
Also will like to know at boot time is this updated automatically.

The /etc/mnttab file is updated as FSs are mounted. This may or may not occur at boot time. Example, what is in the /etc/fstab is what is going to be mounted. If you do not mount the CDROM at boot, it will not be ibn the /etc/mnttab file until it is mounted.

/etc/fstab has info about all these vol. groups and logical volume groups and still they do not get mounted...
any other clues...

Hi:

Check your /etc/lvmrc. You want AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE=1 to activate all volume groups so that they can be used.

Hi,
Can you try to issue "mount -a" to see any error found.

Check /etc/lvmrc as James say.

But AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE is by default 1, unless you have Service Guard, that requires not automatical activation of shared vg.

If it is your environment, you must include in /etc/lvmrc those not sahred VG than you want activate.

Check /etc/rc.log, startup log for other posible errors.

Are the other VGs activated? When you say "mounted" I think of filesystems. If the VGs are activated but the filesystems are not being mounted then your problem is likely in /etc/fstab. Only filesystems specified in /etc/fstab will be automatically mounted at system boot (or respond to a mount -a).

To test: try mounting a filesystem manually.

mount /dev/vg02/ /

If this succeeds, then the VG was activated properly but the filesystems were not set to mount.
