Dead disk?


Try to boot from fs0: manually.

[Benoy Daniel · Accepted solution]

Go to shell prompt and try to boot it manually. If you can able to boot, then once the server is up, set the setboot once again and reboot it.

[Manix]

EFI boot maintenance Menu > exit to the shell

You may go to efi shell & run "map -r -b"
to get bootable media.

Remember DOS commands works in efi shell.

you may see some media listed as fs0: fs1:

you may cd to that partition & check if following directory path exists /efi/hpux/hpux.efi exist which contains the boot loader.

Only bootable media contains the mentioned
directory path

try to boot from that partition /media /disk.

It may boot up .other wise recovery console may be used !!

Thanks
