update-ux error

Hi guys!

Am upgrading one of our vpars from HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise to HP-UX 11i v3 VSE-OE but I encountered the error message below:

* Running "preinstall" script for fileset "OS-Core.SYS2-ADMIN".
* Installing files "OS-CORE.SYS2-ADMIN, r=B.11.31" (19 of 2065).
* Running "postinstall" script for fileset "OS-Core.SYS2-ADMIN".
ERROR: Failed to detect an EFI file system on device: Boot If this device file is not on your root disk, then check to ensure that the /stand/bootconf file contains the correct information. See the bootconf (4) man page for details.
* Running "postinstall" script for fileset "OS-CORE.SYS2-ADMIN". failed with 1 error.
ERROR: The "postinstall" script for fileset "OS-CORE.SYS2-ADMIN" failed (exit code "1"). The script location was "/var/tmp/BAAa29575/catalog/OS-CORE.2/SYS2-ADMIN/postinstall".
ERROR: The install phase has suspended.
ERROR: Aborting the install phase.

The update aborts to this error. Am using HP-UX 11i release 4 VSE-OE for the upgrade. Hope you can help.

Thanks!

Have you checked /stand/bootconf, does it include your boot disks?

Yes. It does include my boot disks.

Re: update-ux error

Is your virtual partition database is uptodate with current EFI addresses? Can you check with :
# efiutil
and
# ioscan -funeC disk

Re: update-ux error

haven't tried efiutil. tried ioscan but it dumps and no output was retrieved. what should i look for in efiutil?

Re: update-ux error

I think that if update-ux checks vpdb for EFI file system, and if vpdb is not up-to-date then this may results the above error. Just an idea...

Have you checked that your EFI f├Д┬▒le systems are ok? You can check with :
# efi_ls -d /dev/rdsk/cxtxdys1 EFI

Re: update-ux error

issued the efi_ls command and got the output:

efi_ls: open device failed (errno = 2)

You'll need to tell us what command you executed.
/dev/rdsk/cxtxdys1 is just a template, where you need to replace "x" and "y" by what's valid for your system.

Re: update-ux error

I issued:

efi_ls -d /dev/rdsk/c2t6d11 (this is the primary boot disk)

Re: update-ux error

On my system I had to use:
efi_ls -d /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1

Or c3t2d0s1 for another. That "s1" is needed for the proper slice. But I get "efi_ls: invalid efi device" if I leave it off.
