HP11.11 server not booting correctly

[Mark Parsons]

Hi,

I have an RP4410 running HP11.11 and when it is rebooted (flags are set for level 2) the following errors are coming up:

...

/dev/vg00/lvol6 :

vxfs fsck: sanity check: /dev/vg00/lvol6 OK

/dev/vg00/lvol7 :

Environment variables for NLS are probably set incorrect.

Correct ones are LC_ALL=C LANG=C

or LC_ALL=C LANG=C

See HP OpenView Administrator\'s Reference for details.

Correct upper variables and re-use this command.

Temporary LANG will be set to C

Further investigation shows that the neccesary filesystems such as /usr and /stand have not been mounted. What I am currently doing to fix this is to break out of the boot process - go to single user mode - mountall and then init 2.

Is there a flag somewhere that has been (un)set that needs to be there for the filesystems (other than /) to be mounted?

Kind Regards,

Mark Parsons

It would help to see the ~20 earlier lines when checking the lower LVOLs.

>flags are set for level 2

You mean run level?

>Is there a flag somewhere that has been (un)set that needs to be there for the filesystems (other than /) to be mounted?

I don't think that's the problem.  The problem is a garbage file in /etc/rc.config.d/*?

Line 67 in /sbin/rc is: . /etc/rc.config

So either you have a garbage file there or you have a bad product that is trying to use commands in /usr/bin instead of /sbin.  Or somehow your root's PATH doesn't have /sbin/ first.

(The latter seems strange since /sbin/rc sets PATH to /sbin.)

Thanks - it was the opcagt (HP Openview) file that was causing the problem.
