rx4660 - EFI not able to see the local disks

shashi kanth — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:02:01 GMT

When rx4660 box is booting, i can see the bellow word.

Scsi(Pun0,Lun0) HP 36.4GMAS3367NC HPC3 ( 80 MBytes/sec)
Scsi(Pun1,Lun0) HP 36.4GMAS3367NC HPC3 ( 80 MBytes/sec)

When EFI came, if try to boot HP-UX, it says "image not found".

If i go to "EFI shell", "map -r" shows bellow.

Looks like the EFI partitions on both disks are corrupted/destroyed or damaged anyhow.

Any recent changes done?

I wonder why you have 4 disks on the first disk ...

Do you have an ignite backup?

I didn't understand the word "I wonder why you have 4 disks on the first disk ..."

Please can you explain it ?

The box is having HP-UX installed, and it was working fine.

Suddenly this issue came.

I don't have ignite backup.

One more information is,

Today morning i inserted HBA into that server.

From that moment, this problem is coming.

Sorry, should be "4 partitions on the first disk".

No ignite backup? This is bad!

You can try to run a recovery shell after booting from install DVD and try to restore the EFI partition first.
