map file systems.

himacs — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:09:13 GMT

Hi admins,

my server is B.11.23 integrity server.

Actually while rebooting server i went to shell prompt.And i listed mapped filesystems using map command which i attached here.
Now please tell me from which mapped FS i can boot the system..whether from fs10r fs2..?

from attachment i can make out that fs1 is mapped for CDROM..

regards

no fs0 is the CDROM

fs1 is the EFI boot partition of a SAS disk in your system, fs2 is another EFI partition which probably has some offline diagnostic utilities in it.

So fs1 is the partition you want.

It must be fs1: (harddisk). fs0: is CDROM, fs2 is service partition.

Hi Thanx for the responses.

This is the first time m doing these things.

sorry Ducan my mistake..
fs0 is for CDROM..

actually i mounted fs1 using fs1: and typed hpux to boot the node..but ended up with below error.
'hpux' not found
Exit status code;Invalid parameter

which command i have to use to start the system to multiuser.

EFI is like DOS, so you can use ls and dir and cd, example:

fs0:\> cd efi

fs0:\EFI> ls
Directory of: fs0:\EFI

04/17/08 07:24p 4,096 .
04/17/08 07:24p 0 ..
04/17/08 07:24p 4,096 HPUX

fs0:\EFI> cd hpux

fs0:\EFI\HPUX> ls
Directory of: fs0:\EFI\HPUX

Hi Himacs,

You can also do:
Shell> map -r -fs -b

This will update mapping and provide bootable paths.
In the attachment fs0 if bootable.

Thanks..

Hi Again,

As said you can try going into directories by doing "cd" and finally you will find "HPUX.EFI".
From that prompt execute:
fs0:\EFI\HPUX> hpux.efi

See the attachment.

Thanks..
