How to know which disk/kernel I booted from.

[M. FRANGEUL]

Hello !
How to know which disk, I booted from, on a HP 9000 (RP5470) with HP-UX B11.00.
I Have two disks using MirrorDisk in a Volume Group vg00.

I think, that I could see it in the file :
/var/adm/syslog/syslog/log but not at all.

Thank's

Hi,
when the machine starts up, it will have a primary and/or secondary boot path set.
You can also modify path at startup.

Peter told you how to tell which disk. Here is how to tell which kernel:

Oh, I should add that the setboot command will tell you your primary and alternate bootpaths:

# setboot
Primary bootpath : 10/0/15/1.6.0
Alternate bootpath : 10/0/15/0.6.0

Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Autosearch is OFF (disabled)

echo 'boot_string/S' | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/mem

I know that, but the system is already started and I search the way to know on what disk the system has booted.
That's all.

Thank's

Ok, excuse me but I'am french, and I don't control very well english.

I have run the command : echo "boot_string/S"|adb /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
and I have the error :
Error from elf64_getehdr(application core file)
Not a Elf file : Not a Elf header
with the response.

Is it normal ?
Thank's again at all.
