Your HP-UX system already has this documentation in the form of man pages. The documentation for every HP-UX command and many other things are instantly available to you.

Just enter the command "man lvlnboot" and start reading.

If you're unfamiliar with the man pages, please also run "man intro" and "man man".

Hi:

In addition to running 'man 1M lvlnboot' on *your* server, you have manpages for the 11.xx releases on the HP documentation site:

http://docs.hp.com/index.html

For 11,31, for example:

If booting in maintenance mode, the system is accessing "blind" into the LVOLs, because the VG is not activated. For this reason the system needs to know where the LVOLs are/start. You write this information by using the lvlnboot commands into the LIF area.

I prefer the use of

# lvlnboot -b
# lvlnboot -s
# lvlnboot -d

insted of the "repair" switch.

Hi,

You can run only as

lvlnboot -R

no need to run -b -s -d separatly
