HP-UX 11i boot auto_parms problem

[Luka Kodric]

Hello everyone i have a strange problem during boot of HP-UX 11i v1. I get the following error messegas
just after the message saying DHCP access is disabled:

/sbin/auto_parms /tmp/sh98.113: cannot create
/sbin/auto_parms[24]: who: not found
/sbin/auto_parms[34];: ps: not found
/sbin/auto_parms[34]: grep: not found

OS is 11i v1-TCOE with the lastest patch bundle installed.

I didn't do any change on OS this thing just started today when i booted my HP c3600 to do some CAD/CAM work.
How do i fix this? Does anyone have the same problem?

Hello

Yeah i already looked at that threat but i didn't find any solution. :(
I would like to know if anyone had the same problem and how he fixed it.

Okay i think there is a bug in HP-UX. I didn't change anything on the system and this auto_parms errors just started to pop up by itself. Anyone who gives me a useful tip i will assign 10 pts!!

It sure looks like the thread JRF mentioned. It seems that /usr/bin isn't mounted or auto_parms is being called too soon.

Can you boot into single user mode? Or do those errors occur even with that?

Oh, I don't see any mention if your system came up even with those errors??

System does come up with this error. Well i don't see a point why /usr and /tmp won't be mounted since i didn't change anything on the system.The system config is the same as it was the day i installed HP-UX 11i v1 and patched it with the lastest patch bundle December 2006. From there i used it as normal user to do CAD/CAM. And after some time using this machine this errors just showed up.

i found this in PHCO_31848 but it's for 11i v2

The set_parms command relys on a number of commands in directories, such as /usr, that may be located on mounted file systems. This command sometimes runs early in the boot process. Any issues related to incorrect configuration become hard to diagnose when missing command error messages are pushed off the screen by other messages.

and this:

If a file system is mounted at /tmp, after a number of reboots the /tmp directory being hidden "under" the mount point fills with temp files.

Hi:

I think you want PHCO_34837 for 11.11.

The link that I first suggested discussed patches and that's what I was trying to point you towards.
