Boot area corrupted after power down C3000 Visualize
I recently got C3000 HP workstation and run into problem with missing boot drive if it reboots or has power failure.
Currently using work around and do boot to recovery shell to fix it each time. I do not have that many power failures. But still want to fix it. B180 standing right next to it is booting fine each time, even after power downs.
lvlnboot reports missing boot volume and lif area got 'hpux -lm /dev/dsk/...'. I understand why system boots in LVM maintenace mode. However root cause is still in doubts.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Re: Boot area corrupted after power down C3000 Visualize
You can try and fix the BRDA if that is what is wrong. you use the lvlnboot command to fix that.
Can you post the output of your "lvlnboot -v /dev/vg00" command.
What is the exact error you get when you boot / reboot the system.
Hope this helps.

Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:

Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c3t5d0

Boot: lvol1 is missing after I boot to recovery shell.
It also tells me to redefine root,dump and swap areas after I use option "b" in "recover unbootable hard drive" menu.

lifcp gives io error when I try to list the content:
lifcp /dev/rdsk/c3t5d0:AUTO -
Might this be a HDD problem?

Re: Boot area corrupted after power down C3000 Visualize
Also, even after I put "hpux" into it via mkboot -a "hpux" /dev/rdsk/c3t5d0
it is working up to the time of power down.
(shutdonw -h).

Re: Boot area corrupted after power down C3000 Visualize
reboot - works.
power down - failed again.
this time it does not boot to ISL.
has to go to recovery CD.
