Cannot get the EFI Menu
I am using a rx2660 HPUX. Machine was working fine with 11i v2. When trying to install v3 initially changed the boot device to Dev 0, later realized I should have used the EFI to use the CD to boot. After using the EFI, to boot from the CD, the console was blank. Did a hard reboot.
Now I am not able to get to the EFI menu at all. The Live Console is just blank.
Any pointers?
When doing it hard boot, it seems to read the CD for a short while, after that does not read the read or the Hard disk at all (the lights just dont blink on the CD or HD).
regards
Manminder

Re: Cannot get the EFI Menu
Try booting the box without a CD/DVD in the drive.
Since you have set the boot device as the DVD drive this will take you to the EFI menu when the boot fails. The way you went about this install was how you would go about installing Linux or Windows on a PC, its not how we do it with HP-UX
I also can surmise the problem with HP-UX 11.31 is that the systems firmware is not up to date enough for the OS. Check that before attempting to install again.

Re: Cannot get the EFI Menu
Thanks for your inputs but it did not work. Even though there is no CD, it did not go into the EFI. Also did not try to read the disks.
The disks had 11i v2 previously installed (i assume its still there).
So still no luck with the EFI menu.

Re: Cannot get the EFI Menu
I hope you did a backup by Ignite-UX. So I would suggest you to recover 11.23 system from backup.
Best regards,
Fabio

If you are not able to access MP prompt, there is some cable connection problem or hardware problem. Or you may need to check the console terminal configuration.

Re: Cannot get the EFI Menu
I would suggest opening a HW call by HP and ask for a check of Integrity Server.
