We have a rp8420, after patching with the 2009 QPK patch bundles:
GOLDAPPS11i B.11.11.0912.483 Applications Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, December 2009
GOLDBASE11i B.11.11.0912.483 Base Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, December 2009
HWEnable11i B.11.11.0612.458 Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, December 2006
And the installation worked ok, no errors in the swagent.log . After finishing the install, the server rebooted and got to the stage:
VxVM reconfiguration recovery ....................................... OK
Mount file systems .................................................. OK
Virtual Partitions Initialization ................................... OK
Update kernel and loadable modules .................................. BOOT
it got to this point and the rebooted, I booted 3 times in a row with the same result, the kernel was getting rebuilt all the time and after that the server rebooted.
After that I booted from vmunix.prev, and the server booted ok.
cheking the rc.log and rc.log.old, both had the same output:
Virtual Partitions Initialization
Output from "/sbin/rc1.d/S105vparinit start":
----------------------------

EXIT CODE: 3 - Default kernel is updated. Rebooting system...
The exit code is ok, the next time it should boot with out building the kernel again
looks like it's getting mixed up with the vpar kernel rebuild and the proper patch rebuild. by the way this server isn't a vpar now, so vparinit could be disabled if needed?.
I think the kmbuild looks for a .update_ux in /stand and if it exists it recompiles, could it that the file didn't get deleted?
has someome seen this behaviour before?
thnx

Re: Error booting 11v1 after patching with QPK
I am not expert to talk about vPar. But, if you are not configured any vPar, try to disable it and boot.

Solutionyou can check in the /sbin/rc1.d/S110kmbuild script it has in the main:
'start'|'stop')
#
# Update kernel and modules
#
if [ -f $UPDATE_UX_FILE ]; then
update_kernel $1
and the update ux file as you say is:
# Flags
UPDATE_UX_FILE=$STAND/.update_ux
if the file exists te script calls the update_kernel function that uses the kmcpux,
kmcpux also checks the .update_file
First if the file doesn't exist:
root@unknown:/> ls -la /stand/.update_ux
/stand/.update_ux not found
root@unknown:/> kmcpux -v
root@unknown:/> echo $?
2
It outputs with 2 that means SKIP, don't compile.
If I create the file it tries to update the kernel
root@unknown:/> touch /stand/.update_ux
root@unknown:/> kmcpux -v
/sbin/kmcpux[3]: test: Specify a parameter with this command.
ERROR: Cannot find the newly built kernel function set directory
"/dlkm.".
After that it deletes the file:
root@unknown:/> ls -la /stand/.update_ux
/stand/.update_ux not found
So your case seems strange, rebooting in loop.

Re: Error booting 11v1 after patching with QPK
Boot in single user/maintainance mode
delete de vparinit script in rc1
and Boot the server again.
It should start with no problem, and you server patched
