Hi:

You don't say how you changed the hostname but you apparently haven't done it correctly or completely. The easiest method is to run:

# /sbin/set_parms hostname

...and follow the prompts.

Regards!

Always use
/sbin/set_parms hostname
to change the servers name.

Make sure to update your DNS entries.

While the system is "not responding still trying", hit the break key on the console keyboard. This should interrupt the rc scripts and allow you to log in. Then use /sbin/set_parms as suggested.

will this work, i am connecting to the server via reflection

It won't work remotely through Relections, it has to be done at the console.

Hmm.
1, check lan card and cable and verify that it is ok.
2, check hostname resolution.
You can move to single mode or level 2 do take dianogtic

You cann't connect to the machine by lan (using reflection or putty or any client utilties) until the specific machine is ready to server client requests.

I hope this error will be timedout on some extend. "NFS server (pid700@/net) not responding still trying" it is a critical error at all.
wait for some time more, because hp-ux machine will take some time + timeout = more time.

If you are not getting within 15-25 mins then report to system admin (if you are not) and login with console and hit key stroke or login with single user mode and change hostname.

By breaking out of the session and than running /sbin/set_parms hostname.
