unable to boot on 11.0 server
fsck: /dev/vg00/lvol1: possible swap device (cannot determine)
fsck SUSPENDED BY USER.
/dev/vg00/lvol1: No such device or address
Unable to mount /stand - please check entries in /etc/fstab
I try to do a vgchange -a y vg00 so I can repair the lvlnboot info and get the normal errors on the other drive that I disconnected and stale extents which I suspect. However when I got to do a lvlnboot -v or vgdisplay -v I get an error that I can't query either boot disk, including the one I'm booted off of. I can see it with an ioscan. Any clues here. This came from another site so I don't have an ignite tape.

Re: unable to boot on 11.0 server
swap was not mirrored.
You need to boot into logical volume maintenance mode and set up a new lvm for swap
hpux -lm
At the IPL prompt.

Re: unable to boot on 11.0 server
assuming that u had 2 disks and that now u have the disk /dev/dsk/c2t0d0 is the disk that u wish to boot the system with , let that disk only be connected , disconnect the other disk on which u had tried the unsuccessful upgrade.
boot the system in LVM Mintenance mode that is interrupting the boot and gettting to the ISL prompt ,
ISL > hpux -lm -lq
this shall boot in the LVM maintenance mode.
after the system boots do an ioscan -fnCdisk to confirm the disk path and device file, remember the disk devive file and i assume that to be /dev/dsk/c0t0d0.
do an vgexport
#vgexport /dev/vg00
#mkdir /dev/vg00
#mknod /dev/vg00/group c 64 0x000000
#vgimport -v /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0
#vgcfgbackup
#lvrmboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
#lvrmboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
#lvrmboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
#lvrmboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
#lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
#lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
#lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
#lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
#vgcfgbackup
#setboot -p
to set this disk as the boot path of the system.
reboot
#shutdown -ry 00
And reboot normally.

Re: unable to boot on 11.0 server
After the import though, the vgcfgbackup vg00 command gives these same errors:
vgcfgbackup: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c0t5d0":The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to this volume group vgcfgbackup: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes. vgcfgbackup: Couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c0t5d0": The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to this volume group vgcfgbackup: Couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c0t5d0": The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to this volume group
I get those errors after I activate vg00 and do vgdisplay as well.
I also get this:
# lvrmboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3 lvrmboot: Volume group "/dev/vg00/lvol3" does not exist in the "/etc/lvmtab" file. lvrmboot: Illegal path "/dev/vg00/lvol3".
and this:
# lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3 lvlnboot: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c0t5d0": The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to this volume group lvlnboot: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes. Logical Volume is not defined on any physical volume. "" is missing Physical Volumes.
It seems like it still can't query the disk I'm booted off of and it does show up in an ioscan. I'll submit points at the end when we figure out exactly what is going on here. I'm pretty sure swap partition lvol2 is fine as this was the original boot disk and it did get imported back in.

Re: unable to boot on 11.0 server
please try the following:
please try to post the O/P of all the commands as u execute as given below.
boot the system in LVM Maintenance mode.
do a vgexport of the current root vg vg00
#vgexport -p -f vg00.out /dev/vg00
#cat vg00.out
see if this reports some disk.(please do post the O/P for this)
do an ioscan to make sure that u are able to see that Disk in the ioscan.(please post the ioscan)
#ioscan
#insf -eC disk
#ioscan -fnCdisk
#pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c0t5d0
#mv /etc/lvmtab /etc.lvmtab.old
#vgscan -apv
#vgscan -av
try reading the LIF area of the disk using lifls
#lifls /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
check for the AUTO,LABEL,ISL,PAD and HPUX if they are present there.
try reading the auto file content
#licp /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0:AUTO -
this should show some "hpux" or "hpux /stand/vmunix -lq"
#mkdir /dev/vgroot
#mknod /dev/vgroot/group c 64 0x010000
#vgexport /dev/vg00
#vgimport /dev/vgroot /dev/dsk/c0t5d0
#mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old.1
#vgscan -av
to see the PV is listed in the VG vgroot do
#vgexport -p -f /vgroot.out /dev/vgroot
#cat /vgroot.out
if the import was successsful
#vgchange -a y vgroot
#vgdisplay -v vgroot(note if the PV /dev/dsk/c5t0d0 shows correctly)
#lvdisplay -v /dev/vgroot/lvol1
try mounting the lvol4 to a directory and read the ls of files.
#fstyp -v /dev/vgroot/lvol4
know if that is HFS OR vxfs
#mkdir /newtmp
#mount -F hfs OR -F vxfs /dev/vgroot/lvol4 /newtmp
#cd /newtmp
#ll
#umount /newtmp
please post the O/P.
if these go suucessful,
then do
#lvlnboot -b /dev/vgroot/lvol1
#lvlnboot -s /dev/vgroot/lvol2
#lvlnboot -r /dev/vgroot/lvol3
#lvlnboot -d /dev/vgroot/lvol2
#lvlnboot -v
#setboot -p
#setboot
see if u can edit the fstab file if all successful
change all vg00 entries to vgroot
#reboot

Re: unable to boot on 11.0 server
also if possible give the O/P of the
#cat /etc/fstab
#bdf
this shall help us know reading from the /etc/fstab to have an idea which volumes were generally used to mount the / and /stand.
that will be interesting as ur VG is trying to sense the /dev/vg00/lvol1 as swap probabaly .
