HP-UX 11iv3 server fail to auto boot

[Aungshuman Paul]

Hi,

One of our HP-UX 11iv3 server fail to auto boot.
This is an BL870c blade server. It will go to the shell> prompt. then I need to specify the "boot from file" option manually to boot the system.

Please check the attached screen shot for details.

Hi

boot the system as now you are doing. Once booted use the setboot command with -p , -h and -a options so as to set the Primary path. HAA path and Alternate boot paths and make autoboot ON. Also use setboot -b on to set the autoboot on once the boot paths are set.
use setboot without options to check the setiings.

Please find the output of setboot command. It shows autoboot on. Please suggest.

# setboot
Primary bootpath :
HA Alternate bootpath : 0/1/1/0 (LAN Interface)
Alternate bootpath : 0/1/1/1 (LAN Interface)

Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Hyperthreading : ON
: ON (next boot)

Hello Aungshu,
looks your hpux box boot from a specific path.

do you have any idea is this remote path? from anywhere in SAN/NAS?

i believe you need to set this path somwhere to make it autoboot. thanks,

[Aungshuman Paul]

No this is local boot. No SAN/ NAS path boot.

Oh one more information, It is an cluster node of SAP system. And this is standby node in the cluster configuration. The problem arise after the power system of data center down for power problem.
