Re: lvm maint mode
Usually lvol2 will be swap and lvol3 will be root, but you say in your server both are swap.
Are you sure for that?
Do you have any backup of /etc/fstab so that we can see its contents.
or if old fstab is also present?
Have you made any changes in fstab?
When was the server rebooted successfully last time?
Chances of bad entries in fstab.
Regds,

Re: lvm maint mode
Another possibility can be bad 'lvlnboot' entries.
Just a guess..

Re: lvm maint mode
I normally just run "mount -a" and get everything mounted up. You may well have to run fsck first.
Any more information you can offer as to why it isn't booting up initially?

Re: lvm maint mode
ISL> hpux -lm
??
or something else ? It looks like it is booting into single user mode instead but why, I can not tell from the information you provided. If you are running a remote console over your windows workstation, try capturing your boot sequence into a log file and attach it to a message for more and accurate help.

Re: lvm maint mode
Besides, if it is in maintenance mode, it will indicate that the kernel is booting to maintainance mode.
Perhaps you may want to reboot the box and use
ISL > hpux /stand/vmunix -lm
Looks like there could be some file system corruption and you can go to the maintainance mode and do the following :
1) vgchange -a y vg00
2) fsck /dev/vg00/rlvol1 (all the basic file systems)
-- to --
fsck /dev/vg00/rlvol8
3) reboot if there is no problems with FSCK and boot to multiuser mode.

Re: lvm maint mode
I am not sure if you mentioned the LVM maintenance mode due to a confusion in terminology or you really did mean it but, if you are in LVM maintenance mode, you are at a very delicate place for the health of your vg00. So, proceed with caution. Please refrain from, fsck'ing or mounting other filesystems while in this mode. Just repair your LVM data in the LIF area and get the hell out by rebooting your machine using nothing other than
reboot -n
which will skip syncing the disks. Or you can just power it down and up.
All I can say is, be careful and good luck.
