Re: booting problem
lif area may be corrupted. If you have mirror boot disk try to boot from it. And you can repair the lif area by booting from OS CD and recover it from menues.

And booted from the all boot disks but the same error it is throwing.
But 1/0/12/1/0.11 from this disk it is booting. Actually it is vpar environment. what the problem is after the system boot there is no vpar commands are working.
Two vpars are there. One vpar in booted by this way.
My question is how to boot other vpar from the booted one.

Re: booting problem
Most probably the lif header is corrupt.
The firmware determines from which device to boot via either user input or primary boot path, looks for a LIF header on that device, and if it finds it, it looks in the LIF header for where the ISL starts.
To repare the lif header you can boot from installation DVD or Ignite Image.
Select the "Recovery Main Menu" then "Recover an unbootable HP-UX system".
Then you should have the "Rebuild the bootlif ....." option in the menu and hope it helps you.
After it finishes with the repare you can return to the recovery main menu, reboot the system from the menu and test if it boots now.

Re: booting problem
I remember that u mentioned that none of the vpar commands are working? Could you please post the error message. How did you identify that system has booted in vpar? could you check the parstatus from OS.
Please check the vfp o/p from MP as well.
Could you please share why the OS was brought down?
