/stand/Reflash: cannot open, or not executable???

Tom Jackson — Fri, 18 Oct 2002 12:34:26 GMT

Hi:

I had some problems installing some software several months ago, and I had to reboot my J6000 running HPUX 11i from a mirrored disk. After the reboot, I kept getting this annoying message:
Boot
Reflash
/stand/Reflash: cannot open, or not executable
exec failed: No such file or directory

After getting the message the system attempts to boot from /stand and everything works fine.

How can I get rid of this annoying message?

Tom

I believe this has to do with a firmware upgrade. I'd call HP.

Hello,

A patch must have left /sbin/init.d/reflash and/or /sbin/rc1.d/S000reflash. Just remove them.

Regards,

Jean-Louis.

Jean-Louis:

I looked and did not find *flash* in either dir.

Hi, Tom!

Look for the bootstring on that disk... e.g.:

# lifcp /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0:AUTO -
hpux

If you find something there then rewrite the AUTO file using:

# mkboot -a hpux

Regards...
Dietmar.

Dietmar:

You are right on. I executed:
lifcp /dev/rdsk/c3t6d0:AUTO -

Response:
hpux reflash
hpux

I executed:
mkboot -a hpux dev/rdsk/c3t6d0

Now lifcp responds with:
hpux

I rebooted and the problem was fixed! ;-)
