Hello everyone,

I am receiving different errors from my HP-UX server. These are:

.

Time ago I received another similar error and my disk was damaged, so changed it 1 month ago, but 2 weeks after using the new disk I am receiving this horrible error.

Is there any Idea? (These errors are stored in syslog.log file)

check the device status from ioscan , vgdisplay commands for c0t5d0.

also see if you find any disk failed. You can check them from cstm.

Hi,

You say your system crashed yesterday? What is in your /var/adm/shutdownlog file? If it is an HPMC you should place a hardware call with your local HP Response Centre and probably get the disk replaced.

You also mentioned you replaced your mirrored boot disk a while ago. Yesterday you had problems booting? After you replaced the disk a while ago, did you enter commands mkboot -b on your disks? Is so, try lifls -l /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0

Regards, MB.

I think my shutdownlog filesdoes not say too much:

13:13 Tue Sep 5, 2006. Halt: (by vwschem!root)
09:23 Fri Sep 15, 2006. Halt: (by vwschem!root)
09:27 Mon Sep 25, 2006. Halt: (by vwschem!root)
the command lifls -l shows

# lifls -

This is my boot disk and I restored the OS form an Ignite tape, So I had not have to do anything else.

Hi,

Can you reply with a vgdisplay -v ? You do not use MirrorDisk/UX ?
