During boot , system does not see extra disks

[Peter te Focht]

Our new rx2660, installed with hpux 11.23, does not detect luns of a VA7410 with a activated SECUREMANAGER, during the bootsequence.
In the rc.log we can see that a volumegroup cannot be activated. The reason is that the disks, belonging to that group are not detected. After a new ioscan the system recognizes the luns and after a vgchange -a y, the vg is activated and with a mount -a, the filesystem is mounted.
But after a reboot, these luns are lost again.
What did I do wrong????

What is the exact message in rc.log?
Also check the first syslog (and dmesg) entries for detected devices.

Did you check the secure manager table for correct CW and WWN entries? Did you enable access to LUN0 to all severs?

In dmesg one NOTICE tells: mod_fs_reg: Cannot retrieve configured loading phase from KRS from module: cifs. Setting to load at INIT.
In rc.log I see the following message: mountall : cannot mount /dev/vgD10/lvusrsap
mountall: diagnostics from mount:
UX: vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-20003: Cannot open /dev/vgD10 .....: No such device or address.
ERROR: V-3-24996: Unable to get disk layout version.
Lun 0 is CW for all nodes. After a ioscan everything is fine. I think when SECUREMANAGER is not right configured, with another ioscan the problem would not be solved.

Hello Torsten,
I think I found the troublemaker. In /stand/bootconf the next entries were there:
l /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2
1 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s2

where for the second entry a 1("one") was written instead of a "l" . I corrected this and now, booting from, either the the primary or the alternate bootpath gives no problems anymore.
Thanks for your help.
