EFI Primary Boot Failed
In attempting to configure vPars switched my boot device and now the HPUX server will not boot past the EFI boot loader. I am running HPUX 11iv2 on a Itanuim rx7620. The last command I ran was mkboot -a hpux/stand/vpmon dev/rdsk/c0t6d0. Also below are some other commands and output that I had ran and saved before this problem occured.
# setboot
Primary bootpath : 0/0/0/3/0.6.0
HA Alternate bootpath : 1/0/1/1/0/4/0
Alternate bootpath :
Autoboot is ON (enabled)

It seems like the boot path and or files is not set correctly any longer, how do I reset this from the EFI shell so I can boot up the server again.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Re: EFI Primary Boot Failed
You are getting something wrong. Your server is an Itanium server and the boot process is different and the setup is also deferent.
You may have to go through the manual for setting these up before you proceed because, you are passing through a wrong step.
LIF label does not reside in section 0 in an Itanium server but section 2. While section 1 contain the EFI partition.
what do you have when you run
# lvlnboot -v vg00

Re: EFI Primary Boot Failed
Hi,
The mkboot command seems to be wrong.
The commnd should have been
# mkboot -a "hpux /stand/vpmon" /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0
What error you are getting while trying to boot?
Did you try booting through EFI shell?
shell > fs2:
fs2: > cd efi\hpux
fs2: > type auto
fs2: > cd \
fs2: > hpux /stand/vpmon vparload -p
BTW, which vpar s/w version you are using?
