excute the "lvlnboot -v"
# lvlnboot -v
lvlnboot: Couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c6t1d5s2":

this volume group
although I had the /dev/dsk/c6t1d5s2 for mirror, but boot from it is also failed
use the command lvlnboot -r / -b / -s / -d also failed with the same error.
# lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1

This means the bootloader cannot find the /stand/vmunix file.
Try booting with the previous kernel version:
HPUX> boot backup/vmunix
If that does not work either, there is some serious problem in your /stand filesystem (critical files missing, or worse).
Do this again:
> when I boot to recover mode with ignite server
> mount the vg00, chroot to the system
Then run "ls -l /stand".
If it's empty, make sure /stand is mounted, then try again. If it's still empty, you've lost the contents of /stand. In that case, the next question is, do you have a backup of /stand?

I guess maybe the LIF area go bad??
Because the ls -l under ISL outputs like this.

Re: NEED HELP! Server failed to startup, ISL prompt: "Could not open vmunix"
The LABEL file within the LIF has a recent timestamp: what was changed on the system on 16 July, or last Friday?

SolutionIf you are using mirror boot disk then please edit AUTO file as:
HPUX> ls -l
total 1374
-rwxrwxrwx 1 -12289 root 256 Apr 19 2006 AUTO
-rwxrwxrwx 1 -12928 root 262144 Apr 19 2006 HPUX

Re: NEED HELP! Server failed to startup, ISL prompt: "Could not open vmunix"
we can edit the AUTO files, and put it in the EFI partition, and how we can edit the AUTO files in the ISL?
I think the 5 files it list is in the ISL area

If that also does not work boot from CD and install EFI utilities again

Re: NEED HELP! Server failed to startup, ISL prompt: "Could not open vmunix"
I have tried to boot from the sec device, but it makes no sense
I dont think the EFI has problem, because the EFI partition and files can be accessed, but the /stand files cannot be read(while the files exist).
