HP ux-11.11 can not start

[johnzw]

I have a HP-rp2470 UX11.11. When it startup, the following messages display:

the start program was hang up and no any response.

Please help me, thank you.

was this server running before??
any activity done on it?

If you have alternate disk can you try to boot from alternate disk.

Cause the messages you gave are all fine we can not suspect anything from these.

completely power off and try booting from alternate disk.

Hi John,

have you tried booting in single user mode?


on ISL prompt type hpux -is

Hi Kapil Jha

Yes, this server is running good before. User of this server told us, they last login this server at the last Friday, and did their job very well. User can't login this server at this morning via ssh. they told us they hadn't done any system change.

I login MP via a terminal, but there is no response when I switch to "console" by "co" command. So, after had a communication with user, I reset this server by "rs" command in MP. Then I got these aboving messages from the terminal display.

There isn't alternative boot disk in this server.

Hi johnsonpk

I tried to login by single user, but failed, the display information as the same as the aboving.

We tried to rescue this server by HP-UX recovery from a ignite-server.
some steps as follows:
Enter file system checking...
FILE SYSTEM CHECK MENU
..
..
..
select one of the following:
a. Run fsck -y
b. Prompt for the fsck run string on ..
c. Return to the 'HP-UX Recovery MENU.'

selection: a

/dev/rdsk/c1t15d0s1lvm
last ...
Phase 1 ...
Phase 2 ...
Phase 3 ...
Phase 4 ...
Phase 5 ...
64 files, 0 icont, 7613 used ...
*****marking file system clean*****

Hang up, no response

[Kapil Jha]

How long you have been waiting for this hang?
are you sure no error came before this.

Can you try to reignite it.
BR,

hi Kapil Jha
Thank you for your replying.

you are right, there is going on to display some information after the "marking file system clean", maybe waiting for 30 mins.

diagnostic system warning:
The diagnostic logging facility has started receving excessive errors from the I/O subsystem. I/O error entries will be lost until the cause of the excessive I/O logging is corrected.
if the diaglogd daemon is not active, use the daemon startup command in stm to start it.
if the diaglogd daemon is active, use the logtool utility in stm to determine which I/O subsystem is logging excessive errors.

[johnsonpk]

The diagnostic warnings probably means that some piece of hardware is malfunctioning

If you have a hardware contract ,place a call with HP , else try reseating i/o cards , disk,


you may try to skip the rc script execution by the key combination ( shift + cntl + | )

BTW have you tried booting from alternate boot disk ?

[johnzw]

Hi johnsonpk, thank you for your help. I'll try to skip rc.
BTW, I haven't alternative boot disk.

Hi johnsonpk
I'm sorry that I didn't understand your mean about alternative boot path.
yes, this server have a alternative boot path, but when I input "bo alt", system report a error, "bad LIF magic". So, it looks
as my alt boot is bad.
