pk3 -> pk5 update, lsm problem help!

Hi all,

I have updated tru64 5.1b to pk5 and after that the machine fails to boot. I says something about error in disk group configuration copies, no valid disk.. transactions are disabled.
Trying lsmbstartup at single user mode resulted in ipc error could not contact blabla.

Please help,

Michael

One thing more.
I did the update in multiuser mode and the ipc error came because I tried a volrecover.
It says during lsmbstartup something about disk read error on dsk0h.
This I can't believe, because the system is mirrore by a kzpac and no disks are failed.

Was dsk0h part of rootdg?. Do you have the root/usr/var under LSM?

What were you using the volrecover on?

Hi BL,

thanks for posting so quickly.
Given my dislike for lsm I hope I did not do that. How do I find out if dsk0h is lsm managed?
I used volrecover without any parameters.
I am at home and have no access to the machine, so it has to go through the operator.

Thanks for trying,

Michael

If dsk0 is accessible, then 'fstype' of dsk0h (from disklabel output) should tell you if LSM is using it.

BL,

yes, it is managed by lsm.

Re: pk3 -> pk5 update, lsm problem help!

Can you provide the o/p of following:

1) # volprint
2) # voldctl mode
3) # voldctl list
4) # ps -A |grep vold

BL,

I have discovered that we have a software contract and I opened a case with HP.
After some trials the engineer gave up!
We are now waiting for someone to come to our place.

hmm...actually, if your root/usr/var doesn't have any dependency on LSM, you should be able to atleast boot the system properly (may be by disabling the lsmstartup script).
