HP-UX does not boot

[OldSchool]

"bo pri" IS NOT an attempt to boot from the alternate (mirror) disk....

Dear all,

I tried to boot up the server by using "bo alt" command but problem is same.

Here â lvm start up failed, Also all mounted file system failed(all mounted file systems crashed). /stand can't be mountedâ .

What will be next step? please comment-----


Best regards

Mahbub,

I am getting confused with your some of the posts like in a post, you said below

>>>
# lvlnboot -v
lvlnboot: Volume group not activated.
Cannot display volume group "/dev/vg00".
<<<<<

and in other post, you are giving vgdisplay,

>>>>
# vgdisplay -v vg00
--- Volume groups ---
VG Name /dev/vg00
VG Write Access read/write
VG Status available
Max LV 255
<<<<

So, i mean if a VG is not activated, how it can give vgdisplay and if it is activated, then how can it say vg deactivating stuff.

i dont know which run level you are running these commands. it would be better if you go thru the single user mode, and again try the following stuff,

1) cat /etc/fstab
2) if you VG00 shows activated (it should be), then
3) lvdisplay from lvol1 to lvol5
4) mount /usr
5) if mount not succeed, then try mounting it manually, may be you have a corrupted fstab or does not have entry of /usr, so do like (on which you LV you have your /usr)
# mount /dev/vg00/lvol4 /usr
# bdf

Paste the output of all these, or even better if you can save your putty session to a file and attach it to your next post.

HP-UX Start-up in progress

VxVM general startup ................................................ OK


Question: Are you using vxvm instead of lvm?

Please check to see if the daemon process 'vxconfigd' is running.

Also, attache the /etc/rc.log. You have to have one. You're printing from it in one of your posts.
