When I rebooted the system this morning i got the error.

Loading.: HP-UX Primary Boot: 0/1/1/0.0x8114db7e708ea57.0x0
Load of HP-UX Primary Boot: 0/1/1/0.0x8114db7e708ea57.0x0 failed: Not Found

What can i do to recover from this?

I have done many reboots before this.

The system doesn't the boot disk.
From EFI shell do

Shell> reconnect -r

Shell> map -r

Do you boot from local disk?

Are the disks on thge "default" controller or on an optional P400?

(Shell> devtree
will tell)

Is there a hardware RAID configured?

[wayne_104]

Yes there is a hardware raid configured and the raid controller and the mirror are all fine

[Torsten.]

Did the reconnect and map command help?

After firmware update or other events the RAID could be disabled, go into the controller BIOS and check. Activate if needed.

[wayne_104]

yea the raid is active


been rebboting fine till this morning.

I still don't know about reconnect and map command results ...



However, maybe some of your action before damaged the EFI area. In this case you probably need to use the recovery shell and repair it.

[wayne_104]

how do i do that?

[Torsten.]

Boot from the install DVD and select the recovery shell.

[wayne_104]

Thanks know that have not done it on a 11.31.

Is it intuitive?

Hi,

> Is it intuitive?

Depends on what you want to do on the recovery shell but a part of the interactive interface makes things a little easier. Remember to do this you have to recognize your DVD on EFI boot manager and get into the "recovery shell", the same procedure for installing from a DVD only a different option.
