From the ISL> prompt try...

hpux -lm

This will boot to lvm maint mode. If you get there, do this...

vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
lvlnboot -R /dev/vg00
lvlnboot -v /dev/vg00

If you get that far, let us know what lvlnboot says.

Type below command to find boot kernel.
ISL> hpux ll
If there is vmunix or vmunix.prev file, you can boot to write this command. And then recover your system manually.
ISL> hpux -lm /stand/vmunix or
ISL> hpux -lm /stand/vmunix.prev
.
.
# chroot_lvmdisk
# cd /ROOT
# chroot /ROOT /sbin/sh
# vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
# mount -a
# cd /stand
# mk_kernel -o /stand/vmunix
# cd /
# shutdown -ry 0

If there is no vmunix file, reinstall the O/S or recover with your backup file.

hi,

interupt the boot process. it will stop at

main menu > sea ipl
--> note down what are the devices it list.

check the primary boot path is listed in the above output..

or may be lif area might be corrupted on your primary boot disk. boot from alternate disk if u have one.

Regards,
Govind.

Hi Govind.

I already interrupt and use command :
> sea ipl
and show only one :
P0 0/0/1/1.2 ............... IPL

and P0 is a primary boot.

What can i do next to repair that error ?
And fault alert in machine is on (RED).

thx.

Hello!
You need to boot from "support" or "install" medium into recovery shell. To do it, you should interrupt installation process at the beginning pressing a key at appropriate prompt and choose "Run a Recovery Shell" menu. In recovery shell's main menu select "r. Recover an unbootable HP-UX system". You'll get into "HP-UX CORE RECOVERY MENU". In there select "a. Rebuild the bootlif (ISL, HPUX, and the AUTO file) and install all files required to boot and recover HP-UX on the root filesystem".

Where you able to boot into LVM Maint mode using "hpux -lm" from the ISL prompt or is this where you get the alert level 3?
