Are you not able to boot into single user mode?? Interrupt the boot process. bo pri
interact with isl and on isl prompt, hpux -is

Once on single user mode, check the sizes of /etc/ioconfig and /stand/ioconfig. Should be same. If not rename /stand/ioconfig and reboot, that should build new ioconfig and server should boot.

After being in single user mode as explained here:

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=695058

# ioscan -fnC ext_bus | egrep -v "H/W|==" | awk '{print $3,$1,$2}' > /root/infile

# mv /etc/ioconfig /etc/ioconfig.OLD

# mv /stand/ioconfig /stand/ioconfig.OLD

# ioinit -f /root/infile

If there are only "line ignored" messages from ioinit, then you are good to go and dont have to reboot the system

# mv /etc/ioconfig /etc/ioconfig.OLD

# mv /stand/ioconfig /stand/ioconfig.OLD

# /usr/sbin/shutdown -r -y 0

system will stop at ioinit prompt at bootup

ioinitrc) ioinit -f /root/infile -r

Hi Mark,

Are you able to go into Single-user mode at all?

Do you have any extra disk that you can install OS onto and save the dump from there?

If you ever able to boot-up, please check if you have this patch PHKL_32603 for HP-UX 11.11.

Best regards,
Mei

Do not issue "init 1". Stay in single mode and try to execute command I gave.

If some command is missing, try to mount /usr, /sbin/, /vat etc ...

Do not climb in init levels if it couses the problem.

Gents.

I didnt say it but it is a serviceguard cluster.
After i edit /etc/lvmrc from 1 to 0
and i edit /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster from 1 to 0 i good come in init 1.
I'm know trying to find out why it happend.

grtz. mark

Hi Mark,

I guess as long as you're able to go into Single-user mode, don't go further.

Please try the steps that were given and see how it goes?

Best rgds,
Mei
