Re: unable to boot the tru64 unix server from the SRM prompt

You may have hardware problem (disk) or somebody deleted some files from your boot disk (kernel vmunix).
Give more details such as when did it happened and what have been done on your system before that.
And send output of:
>>> show
Did you try to boot generic kernel?
>>> boot -file genvmunix
In vino veritas, in VMS cluster

Hi Imran,

In addition to Vladimir's suggestion, you might also want to try booting into single user mode...

>>> boot -flag s -file genvmunix

I'll guess you might have a corrupt or damaged system disk... Getting into single user, may enable you to fix it.

Failing that you might have to boot off and installation CD, drop to the Unix shell, and see if you can repair things from there.

Cheers,

Rob

Re: unable to boot the tru64 unix server from the SRM prompt

Hello,

Thanks for the response.
I went for leave...

I have tried to boot from single user mode
but it is also failed....

Please help me how to solve this problem beacuse I dont have good experience in Tru64 Unix.

Here we are running Tru64 V5.1, the client has missed the Installation media...
anyway we arranged the Tru64 V5.1B media but this is newer version of that we have.

please help me, how to mount the disks after booting from the CD.

and how to recover the data also...

Re: unable to boot the tru64 unix server from the SRM prompt

Then please send output of this:
1.
>>> show
2.
>>> boot -file genvmunix
3.
>>> boot -flag s -file genvmunix

Error messages can help us a lot.

Re: unable to boot the tru64 unix server from the SRM prompt

So you have corrupted or damaged system disk.
You will need boot CD.
Do you have backup?
