Re: boot error

Try

boot pri

or

boot alt.

Don't interact with ISL. Capture the output.

Hope this helps!

Re: boot error

If you are at an ISL prompt you can proceed by typing 'hpux'.  You got there by answering Y to the question about interacting with IPL....or you have a problem with the kernel or AUTO file.

Re: boot error

Hi all

 

From the ISL I typed the SEL IPL and the output was this:

 

P0  10/8.12          Random Access
P1  10/12/6.0      Lan.0

 

The output of the PA command i got this:

 

Primary Boot Path fwscsi.15
                                                  10/0.15
Alternate Boot Path               8/12.13
Console Boot Path                10/8.0
Keyboard Boot Path            10/12/7.0

 

When i run the BO ALT in order to boot from the alternative path i got his feedback:

 

Boot IO Dependent Code (IODC) revision 152
IPL error: bad LIF magic
Error reading IPL

 

From the main boot path, BO PRI i got this feedback:

 

Booting ...
Boot Device Not Ready . . .
Boot Device Not Ready . . .
Retrying Boot Device . . .

 

How do i proceed?

Regards,
NC

Re: boot error

and if that works set the primary boot path from the OS as follows:

 

# setboot -p 10/8.12.0

 

If you want the system to autoboot to this path:

 

# setboot -s on -b on

Re: boot error

Dear all,

 

According with the erros i got from the screen, I can see that It can boot from the alternative path but still looks for the PV where the root VG is, and this PV is from the failed disk or problematic path.

 

It can´t boot from the 10/0.15 but it boots from 10/8.12 and after that end up on kernel panic because is looking for the PV located on the (10.0.15).

 

Any idea please.

 

See the screenshots for more details.

Re: boot error

Try this:

 

Looks like the disks are mirrored, so you can also try quorum mode from ISL:

 

> hpux -lq

 

 

 

- if this doesn't work, from ISL do

 

> hpux -lm

 

to start in maintenance mode

 

once you have a prompt, do vgdisplay -v vg00

 

 


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: boot error

Dear all,

 

after the options "hpux -lq" it goes to the step from the screen and takes longer.
