Re: unable to boot a v2500 running 11.11

Hello,
Has this failed in service or is it a new os install ?

>get_spp_path_entry:obp_paths failed 2

This may indicate a hardware error affecting messaging to console system from the system backplane .

it failed in service. it is not a new install.
we are connected directly to the console

Re: unable to boot a v2500 running 11.11

real old stuff this - are you _sure_ nothing changed?

what PDC firmware version is running on this system?

if you are on the console, got to forth mode (I think the shortcut was FM ) and issue printenv

post results here..

Re: unable to boot a v2500 running 11.11

Hello,
I can't remember the exact name of the control board but it sits on the service network between the test station (console) and the centre plane and manages all the hardware and service access between the v class itself and the test station. It does all the enviroment and fault monitoring and relays messages back to the console, if there is some fault there or if it can't communicate properly, the system will struggle to come up.
I am fairly sure that 3.2 is the correct level to run hp-ux 11.11
Since it has failed while running, I would be inclined to get the hardware looked at first .

I hope this is of some help

We replaced the mid plane brought the system to minimum config and still get the same errors.

Is there a reason why you can't boot off either the alternate or old kernel?

Hi There..

Did you try booting from CD/DVD (probably that will also fail).

What I feel is that you might need to upgrade PDC firmware to 5.3.2 at least.
