System (C3600) is not booting after installing MirrorDisk/UX

Jürgen Schmidt — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 18:19:32 GMT

after the installation of Mirror/Disk B2491BA on a 11.11 System ( C3600 ) the system is not coming up. There is shows no error :-((
trying to boot in single user mode get the same effect.
Console shows following:

ISL> hpux -is
Boot
: disk(10/0/15/1.6.0
11370496 + 1916928 + 1445600 start 0x1f608

That´s it - no error, no nothing

This Problem occured after installing Mirror/Disk

The Patch Bundle BaseGold ( 05.2005 ) was installed before.

Trying to boot with "hpux -i3" is the same result

Thanks for any hints in advance

Jürgen

Did you do only the installation or did you actually mirror the boot disks? If so did you write down your primary boot disk and the mirror boot disk?

Hi Deoncia,
the error occured directly after the installation of MirrorDisk.
The installaton is changing the kernel and requires a reboot.
Then the system is "unbootable"
So - no mkboot or lvextend yet

The messages you show are normal boot messages. How long do you let it sit after the:

11370496 + 1916928 + 1445600 start 0x1f608

line comes up?

Hi Patrick,
you can wait until you get hungry or fall into a deep sleep or the bill from the electricity supplier arrives :-)

So, it simply hangs

Hi,

It seems that something went wrong during the Mirror-UX installation process.
You can boot the system using old kernel
ISL > hpux /stand/vmunix.prev

Then go ahead boot the system and check the logs such as syslog, OLDsyslog, /etc/shutdownlog

Hi Sameer,

thatÂ´s it.
system is booting and I can look what went wrong.
The swinstall log I checked before booting.
That was fine.

I have a short look to syslog etc.
May be I go to bed then and write here tomorrow what the problem was.

ItÂ´s 1.30 at night here an I had a few "frustration beers" ( yes I am at home )
So I go to bed soon.

Thanks a lot
Until tomorrow
Juergen
