Re: HP-UX does not boot
Unfortunately who(1) is broken and will always return 3 or greater.
But it is probably 3 since this rc(1m) error:
/sbin/rc3.d/S200tps.rc[15]: /usr/bin/hostname: not found
>b) mount -a
>Get your file systems up!
Right, these are most important to find out why this failed:
.................... FAIL *
Mount file systems ........ FAIL *
And why the first doesn't seem to have a name?
>d) grep -i err /etc/rc.log
This may help.

Re: HP-UX does not boot
If you are in Single User mode, then first try mounting the /usr
# mount /usr
# bdf
First, set the hostname of your server with the command
# hostname
# mount -a
Then try changing the run level for the single user mode
# init 2
# init 3

Re: HP-UX does not boot
mount /usr--didn't mount
# bdf
sh: bdf: not found
# hostname
sh: hostname: not foun
I tried changing the run level for the single user mode but boot failed
What will be next step?
Best regards

Re: HP-UX does not boot
1)Can you tell me which run level you are in.
2) is /usr is a separate FS in your server.
okay, now from you vgdisplay of vg00, it is seen that you have two disks mirrored in your vg00. So, try booting your server from the alternate disk and see it the server is coming up.
if not again, then go to single user mode by
ISL> hpux -is -lq
