lifls is not showing the lif area

ani007 — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 10:16:25 GMT

I did "lifls /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx" to see the lif area for both of the disk.but it shows nothing...

xxxx3p:root [/root] lifls /dev/dsk/cXt15dX
ISL AUTO HPUX PAD LABEL

xxxx3p:root [/root] lifls /dev/dsk/cYt15dX
HPUX ISL AUTO PAD LABEL

xxxx3p:root [/root]

For other servers it is showing . Is there anyway to copy it without rebooting the server.
Regards,
Ani

These are the files of the

offline diagnostics.

Not needed during normal production.

Did you ever used them???

However, they are available from CD on software.hp.com

There is a depot for swinstall on it.

Normally you never need it - if "someone" need it, he usually has this CD.

Additional information - your LIF area has all the needed files:

ISL - initial system loader, for loading ->
HP-UX - secondary loader, loads the kernel
AUTO - auto boot strings (options like "-lq")
LABEL - disk related
PAD - fill the space
