Boot disk failed

fornax — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 16:43:29 GMT

Hi
We have a brand new rx4640 server and have added a SAN30 to it . paritions were created using the pvcreate, vgcreate and lvm tools. The partitons were mounted manually and added in the fstab . However upon rebooting we have this error message:

Load of HP-UX Primary Boot:0/1/1/0/4/0.0.0 failed: Not found !!!

Is there a way to recover the system back !!!

Fornax,

In EFI Boot Manager Menu , in 'Boot Option maintenance menu' check the boot disk configuration details. And Check if this path (0/1/1/0/4/0.0.0) is pointing to the correct boot disk,

cheers,
Raj.

Hi,

do you know where your boot disk is?
Have you done a search (SEA) to find bootable devices except the cdrom?
