Hi nitin,

You can also do the following on BOTH boot mirrors

mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/cxtydz

This will allow either to boot the next time w/o quorum present.

HTH,
Jeff

Hi Nitin,

If this is the root disk that you are trying to boot without quorun, then boot the disk (pri or alt) and interact with ipl. At the ipl prompt type,

hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix

If you are talking about booting the system and activating one of the vg's without quorun, try

vgchange -q n -a y /dev/vg_name

Hope this helps.
