I have a HP D350 with HP-UX 10.20, when the server start, it can't mount vg01, that is located at disk array, when I see the rc.log file, i see this:
more rc.log
Old /etc/rc.log moved to /etc/rc.log.old

I think, this problem can be harware, but I need to be sure before I try to buy a card for disk array.

hi,

can we have abit more info if possible.

is the server up and running on VG00? if so what does ioscan show for the disk/diskarray and i/f's
also what type of disk array is it that you are using.

has anything been done to change the system or just crashed? why rebooted?

Also to start with check all cabling/connections to server and disk array to ensure they are seated ok, not come loose.

post the ioscan output if possible

Andrew, at this moment, all is OK.
With SAM, put the disk array as LVM (used) after assign it to vg01, after that it run the command mountall from root.

After it all is OK, only to are sure that all is OK, rebooted the server and all is OK.

Thanks for your answer.
