Re: What to do when you aren't sure a reboot will work (*on a remote server)
I'm done. Out of ideas.
Do everything you possibly can to test and then boot that sucker!!! If it totally crashes from the boot, then they HAVE to let you go fix it!
:-)
Where's the box? Maybe it's near me and I can just go fix it for you.
:-)

Re: What to do when you aren't sure a reboot will work (*on a remote server)
Make an ignite backup of the server (which can be done remotely over to a tape drive near you). Restore that backup onto one of your own servers locally, and see if it starts up.
This method should work for you very well to see if you really can boot, and if not, why not. You could then proceed to fix each item one at a time, both locally and on the remote server until the local one comes up.
When done, get a new ignite backup and replay the whole scenario. When you've got it working here, and all fixes in place over there - you're bound to be up and working fine on your next reboot at the remote site.

Re: What to do when you aren't sure a reboot will work (*on a remote server)
http://www.circlingcycle.com.au/Unix-sources/HP-UX-check-OAT.pl.txt
It's a script from a forum member (here) who had problems going to customer sites and then not knowing whether or not the systems could stand up to patching, rebooting, etc.
So he wrote a script that checks out a wide variety of issues. I've not run it or tested it. But, its goal at least sound similar to your needs, at least at times. Sadly, I snagged the link, but not the guy who posted it's name, and he didn't have it in the script itself (which I was kinda counting on). So, I hate this, but I lost the original poster's name.
