Boot Failure..

[Manoj Misra]

My RP3440 machine fails to boot from primary and secondly boot disks. I have tried to boot it in single user mode but that is also failing. Its seems stuck at one line and doesn't move forward (see the output below..)

ISL> hpux -s

ISL> hpux -s
This is not correct syntax to boot in single iuser mode, you need:
ISL> hpux -is

Hi,

You can try to boot using old kernel
ISL > hpux -lm /stand/vmunix.prev

if you have changed anything like generating new kernel or SCSI card changed etc. revert it back.

hope this help

Sill same...

No manual changes made to system. It was running since last 1 year as standby node in MC/Service guard.

I have access to MP Prompt. Please let me know if any diag. can be done from there.

Did you check for any error in the MP Event log? MP >> SL >> E >> D

[Patrice Le Guyader]

If you are doing a telnet to the MP from another UX server try to make typescript as following :

script log.txt
telnet LanConsoleServerHs

(+) Take a look at the Console Log .
You'll can see if there was a problem during previous shutdown and boot.

F to go to first antry
L to go to last entry
and enter key to go true next entry (be sure to go true all the pages).
Ctrl-B to Quit

(+) Take a look at the Event Log .

B for current boot
T for text entry
D for Dump (Ask Y to the question)

Q to quit
Q again
X to end MP connection

Now you should be back on you other unix server.
type script again to stop the typescript

You can take a look at the result or post-it here, I'm sure someone will help you.

Hope this help
Pat

You need to look only for errors with a severity greater than 3.
