How to get the boot string in HP-UX 11.23 ?

[Arunvijai_4]

# echo boot_string/S | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
boot_string:
adb: warning: Unrecognized format character - 'S'

What could be the Option ?

-Arun

Ah...seems on ia64 - use lowercase:

# echo 'boot_string/s' | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
boot_string:
(;)/stand/vmunix


Which means we still don't know for sure which disk booted the kernel....

# echo 'boot_string/s' | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
boot_string:
(;)/stand/vmunix

It still some empy, where as 11.11,

HP11.11:>echo boot_string/S | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
boot_string:
boot_string: disk(0/1/1/0.0.0.0.0.0.0;0)/stand/vmunix
HP11.11:>

-Arun

My box is HP-UX 11.23 IA64, not PA-RISC.

/stand/bootconf is not useful.

# cat /stand/bootconf
l /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
l /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2

It contains devices suitable for boot the system, not the device used for last boot.

Hi,
On HPUx 11.23
# echo "bootdev/x"|adb -n /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
bootdev:
0x1f020002
# ll /dev/dsk
total 0

Hi,
As stated you can see this information with the commands stated but confirm boot areas in the BDRA are mirrored correctly by examining output from:

lvlnboot â v

Simon

[Simon Wickham_6]

Hi,

Should read lvlnboot â v.

Regards,
Simon

Oscar,

What does lifcp say, is this still valid for 11.23:
lifcp /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2:AUTO -

Devender has it!

# echo "bootdev/x"|adb -n /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
bootdev:
0x1f032002

root@sha1 [ /home/gwild ]
# ll /dev/dsk |grep 32002
brw-r----- 1 bin sys 31 0x032002 Dec 30 13:35 c3t2d0s2



root@sha1 [ /home/gwild ]
# lvlnboot -v
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c3t2d0s2 (0/1/1/1.2.0) -- Boot Disk
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2 (0/1/1/0.1.0) -- Boot Disk
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c3t2d0s2
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
Root: lvol3 on: /dev/dsk/c3t2d0s2

Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c3t2d0s2
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c3t2d0s2, 0


Now I wonder if the first disk in the lvlnboot -v display is always the one booted from?
