HP ux-11.11 can not start

[AVV]

Hello,


Do you have an ignite image for the system ?

(Not jumping into but to know :( )

1. You tried to boot from single user mode and could not.
2. There is no mirroring avail.
3.Tried to skip the start-up process.


Running a recovery shell will help here ???

Hi ajesh v v
the following display by HP-ux recovery shell:

Select one of the following:
a. Run fsck -y.
b. Prompt for the fsck execution string on c1t15d0s1lvm.

m. Return to the 'HP-UX Recovery MENU.'

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.

As the all above messages and posts, I thnik maybe it is hardware fault.

Hi,

seems to be a hardware failure.
Can you test the disk in another HP?
Just hang it in and do a 'dd to /dev/null' test.

hi V. Nyga, thanks for your reply, it's very hard to test disk in another server, because this server rp2470 is very old, and we haven't the same machine to do this test.

HI John,

I think you should ask HP to replace the disk and ignite it again.

the last option I see is to re-ignite with same disk [which most prob wont work]

Hi again,

do you have a list of the disks you have in this server?
Are there important, not back-uped datas?
You can either replace the primar boot disk or try to install os at the alternate boot disk. The question is - do you have important datas at the alternate boot disk or is it really 'only' a second boot disk.

>when I input "bo alt", system report a error,

as my alt boot is bad.

It also could be a data disk - 'alt disk' only means that there's a second disk, where you could boot from. The system doesn't know if there's a boot sector at it.

Have you tried the logtool utility in stm to determine which I/O subsystem is logging excessive errors?

>I login MP via a terminal, but there is no response when I switch to "console" by "co" command.

did you press some enter? maybe there weren't any activity on the console and that's why you didn't see anything. A reset in this case is a little bit rough solution, I would have checked the system state in the VFP menu and so on... RS should have been the last resort.

Hi all, thanks for your help, and this problem was caused by hardware fault.
We plan to move disk to another server to test and backup data.

Good luck with that ..if solved ..pls update the thread with resolution and close the thread...

Rgds!

I moved disk to another server,however it can't start up too, so we can determine the disk has malfunction.
Thank you for your help again, close this post.
