Hi,

check this doc,

Kind regards,

Run the "setboot" command and post the output here so we can see what your boot variables look like at this point. There's something in there that doesn't belong.

Hi,

If the string
ISL booting hpux-lq

has been cut and pasted from the console, there was a typing error in the command
mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix"
There is not space between hpux and -lq

Retype it correctly and, hopefully, this will resolve the problem.

Good luck

It looks like they forgot to put a space in (assuming you cut and pasted that to the screen)

hpux-lq wont work "hpux -lq" is what you are looking for .

NOTE: the detailed

"hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix"

is not longer needed as the "(;0)/stand/vmunix" are default.

Just go with "hpux -lq"

The fix would be :

mkboot -a "hpux -lq"


Best regards,

Leon:
is any command can set autoboot true for both boot disks?

Go to PDC prompt by pressing any key during system bootup.

Main menu> CO
Configuration Menu> AU
This display the following:
Autoboot: ON
Autosearch: ON
Autostart: ON
This all should be On. If not do this

Configuration Menu> AU BO ON
This will set AutoBoot ON.

Configuration Menu> AU SEA ON
Configuration Menu> AU ST ON

Then you see everything ON.

That's all
All the best
