Hard disk no bootable

Manuel Plaza — Mon, 06 Nov 2000 14:54:38 GMT

Hi,

I have installed a hard disk mod. SEAGATE ST15150W in a C110 workstation and is not seen how bootable.
Is there any solution ?

Regards,

Hi,

To create a boot disk :

pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
mkboot /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
mkboot -a "hpux" /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ

vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ
lvlnboot -R
lvlnboot -v

Regards,

Patrice.

Am i right in saying that , you have installed a secondary hard disk into your system and when you do an ioscan it does not show up i.e. shows not claimed or you have installed a second hard disk and the system sees it but you want to mirror it and make it bootable?

If the first option , then check the cable connections , check ig hard disk is spinning up , check errlogs or if you have diagnostsics installed , mstm / cstm , check if firmware of disk is up to date i.e. diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/???? ( you should see something like HP0? ( check with HP if this is correct )

If option 2 , do what patrice has mentioned a, you can check current bootable media by typing in setboot , will show you which one is primary and alternative do man setboot

Hi,
Modify primary boot with setboot command.

Manuel,

I do not think that the disk you have is "differential". If you are attaching the disk to the FWD scsi interface it *must* be a differential disk. The model number of the disk suggests that it is "single ended".

Also, read this thread:

Hi,

I'm currently replacing a harddisk for a HP 800 series data-server running on HP-UX ver 9.01, can the methods provided by Patrice be used to make the harddisk bootable?

Cheers
Terry
