HP UX System crash recovery

[KOUYATE MAURY]

Hi,
i have 2 HP 9000rp3440 clustered. the first node has crashed with this error message: ERROR : your system crashed before I/O dumps configuration was complete. A crash dump cannot be taken under these circumstances without special configuration. Contact your HP support representative.
And the system light on the server is red. If somebody can help me to find a way to boot the system. And i have also notice that the boot partition is 99% each time i try to boot the system.

It looks like your system either had a severe hardware problem, preventing it from writing the crash dump into dump volume, or your dump volume is not configured properly. Red system light makes me believ that you may have a hardware failure but with the amount of information you provided, it is hard to tell if it is the case.

Contacting your HP support for hardware service at once is strongly suggested. Since you are running a serviceguard, I am assuming this is a critical production server and this situation only, justifies calling for support.
