rp8400 partition stops booting

I have a rp8400 with 2 partitions
1 partition stops until this message

td: claimed Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage card at 1/0/1/0/0
td: claimed Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage card at 1/0/2/0/0
td: claimed Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage card at 1/0/8/0/0
td: claimed Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage card at 1/0/12/0/0

System Console is on the Built-In Serial Interface

and on the VFP screen for this partition it shows the following:

PARTITION STATUS: E indicated error since last boot
Partition 1 state Activity
------------------ --------
HPUX Launch Processor display_activity update 4688 Logs

# Cell state Activity
- ---------- --------
1 Cell has joined partition


The number on before the logs keeps on increasing,


How can I make this system boot? there's no error messages being displayed. How can I check those logs?

Thank you

Re: rp8400 partition stops booting

You can check the logs from the MP for HDW errors:

MP> sl

EVENT LOG MENU:

FPL: Forward Progress Log
SEL: System Event Log
LIVE: Live Events

CLR: Clear FPL and SEL
Q: Quit

MP:VW> fpl

Welcome to the Forward Progress Log (FPL) Viewer
Windows?, no thanks

Re: rp8400 partition stops booting

Hi,

Check the power status of all the cell boards. Especially core cell which is normally cell0. If core cell is powered off or failed then system won't boot since boot disks connected to cell0.


Best wishes,

Ganesh.

Re: rp8400 partition stops booting

Hello,

check MP logs via the SL menu. If the system does not respond for a longer time, check whether you can reboot into a single user mode,examine OS logs for potential errors. If you don't discover the cause, open a call with HP.

Please ignore my previous post. I could not see the earlier posts, when I posted my message.

Please check the power status

Re: rp8400 partition stops booting

I have checked the power supply, reseat BPS, and power cords, and reset breakers. Now all are working fine. But still only 1 partition boots up

Is it possible to change the assignment of Part/Cell, eg Part 1 to cell 0, and Part 0 to cell1?
