Help!!! bad number or name in minor spec

Good morning to all!

We have a server dclass we are trying to run a mirror, were made all the changes, and when there was reboot the system there was an error:

isl: hpux-lq (8/4.5; 0) / stand / vmunix
bad number or name in minor spec

For all the discs that I try to give the boot, or enter the settings appear the same mesagem.

Even trying to boot the single user as he continues giving this error.

How do I s.o in the boot?

Thank you

Are trying to boot form SAN ?
Can you check your disks and boot paths ?

See more about minor numbers here - http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-90010/hpux.1M.html

Shalom,

Looks like a disk problem. If you are booting from the SAN it could be a SAN configuration problem.

Otherwise you may need to boot from your alt disk.

Re: Help!!! bad number or name in minor spec

I notice that you have spaces in your path to /stand/vmunix. Hopefully that is just a typing error on your part?

If there truly ARE spaces then that is the problem. Those cannot be there.

What I see:
/stand/vmunix
(where the is just a space character)

What it needs to be:
/stand/vmunix

If this was the command line it is wrong:

isl: hpux-lq (8/4.5; 0) / stand / vmunix


Do a

ISL> hpux

or

ISL> hpux -lq

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Dont Write "isl: hpux-lq (8/4.5; 0) / stand / vmunix"
just try "isl: hpux -lq"

Post the error if any
