dump

BACLE_1 — Fri, 12 Mar 2004 04:12:04 GMT

dmesg give:
Logical volume 64, 0x2 configured as SWAP
Swap device table: (start & size given in 512-byte blocks)
entry 0 - major is 64, minor is 0x2; start = 0, size = 4087808
Defaulting dump to primary swap
WARNING: Could not find HPA for dump device 0xffffffff
WARNING: Could not use primary swap for dump. Dump is disabled.

and my fstab include:
/dev/vg00/lvol3 / hfs defaults 0 1
/dev/vg00/lvol1 /stand hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol2 swap ignore sw 0 0
/dev/vg00/lvol4 /home hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol5 /opt hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol6 /tmp hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol7 /usr hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol8 /var hfs defaults 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol9 /opt/exploit hfs rw,suid 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol10 /var/adm/crash hfs rw,suid 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol11 /prog hfs rw,suid 0 2
/dev/vg00/lvol12 /opt/hpxt vxfs log,nodatainlog,rw,suid 0 2

why WARNING: Could not find HPA for dump device 0xffffffff and
WARNING: Could not use primary swap for dump. Dump is disabled appear

As fstab contains "/dev/vg00/lvol2 swap ignore sw 0 0" is this for that which I have "Dump is disabled"

how can I remove the message "Could not find HPA for dump device 0xffffffff"

Do; lvlnboot -v

This should show something like;

Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c4t4d0 (10/0.4.0) -- Boot Disk
/dev/dsk/c4t3d0 (10/0.3.0)
/dev/dsk/c0t14d0 (8/0.14.0) -- Boot Disk
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c4t4d0
/dev/dsk/c0t14d0
Root: lvol3 on: /dev/dsk/c4t4d0
/dev/dsk/c0t14d0
Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c4t4d0
/dev/dsk/c0t14d0
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c4t4d0, 0

You can see dump is enabled at the bottom. Use the lvlnboot command to enable it.

Hi again,
the url should ebd with "do" not "doc". If that does not work then try the it resource center:
http://www4.itrc.hp.com/
and select there "maintenance and support for hp products"
and select in the following screen:"technical knowledge base" and make your search there. I hope it works.

The issue here if you look closely at your dump device output from lvlnboot -v is that
your dump lvol is only listed on c0t6d0 while your boot and root are listed as being on c0t5d0.

So your booted off of c0t5d0 and the dump definition for your lvlnboot stuff is listed on c0t6d0.

Here is how I would fix it.

First make sure that your setup has lvols 1 through 3 in that order on each of your disks c0t5d0 and c0t6d0.

You can do this by doing:
pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c0t5d0 | more and then doing the same for c0t6d0. Once you are sure that you have the lvols set up on both disks then do the following:

lvrmboot -r /dev/vg00
lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
lvlnboot -R

Your next reboot should show that the problem is cleaned up.

Hi again,
.....because your dump device does not appear on your primary boot disk, c3t5d0 -only on the secondary.
Perhaps you need to delete the current dump device first in order to recreate it on the primary boot disk. It would be a good idea to hear other members' opinions.

John K.
