What (if any) error or warning messages do you get at boot time?
What is the initdefault set to in /etc/inittab?

[IT Telecom Pomezia]

init:3:initdefault:


Warning is

cleaning /etc/ptmp

See attachment

[melvyn burnard]

your attachment makes no sense, it does not say it cannot go to run level 3 or any other warnings/errors.
Do you get any prompt at all?
What state do you get to to be able to do init 3 ?

Do you have any iSCSI devices with file systems in tyhe VG's that are showing errors?
And is this HP-UX 11.11 or 11.23?

HPUX 11.11

no prompt

[melvyn burnard]

If you have no prompt, please inform us how you get the server to go to run level 2 and 3?
Also, are you using iSCSI devices?
As a test, edit the /etc/fstab file and comment out all file systems to be mounted except those in VG00.

Was this working before?
If so, what has changed? Patches? New products?
