Override the Quorrum check

[susee_sundar]

Hi,

In my Hp Server I build a mirrored root disk ,hence The logical volumes are mirrored with each other.

But for testing I remove once HDD and booted , it fails with Quorrum Check message.

Then I override it from ISL by > hpux -lq

But how can I make it automatic , hence it will boot without any user interface.

As I searched in Google I found few entry needs to be done in AUTO file in LIF area.

Can anybody give me the steps to modify the file & the entry needs to be put.

Shalom,

You can't run a system without quorum in any kind of normal production mode.

You must boot to single user (is) or lvm management mode (lm) and change configuration to create a quorum, at least in the vg00(boot) volume group.

Volume groups won't activate without quorum. I've tried every way around it on a machine in my house and wasted a lot of time.

The command to modify the boot string is

mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

[Doug Burton]

Do this on the drvie you left inside your system:

mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

To check: lifcp /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX:AUTO -

You should be ok booting up.
