Installing HP-UX 11.11

[Vitaliy_3]

I am trying to install HP-UX 11.11 on L2000, but the next error occured:

"DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM WARNING:
The diagnostic logging facility has started receiving excessive errors from the I/O subsystem. I/O error entries will be lost
until the cause of the excessive I/O logging is corrected. If the diaglogd daemon is not active, use the Daemon Startup command
in stm to start it. If the diaglogd daemon is active, use the logtool utility in stm
to determine which I/O subsystem is logging excessive errors."

Installation process is not continue after this...

What does it mean?!!!
Thank you.

You have booted off the Core OS cd/dvd and gotten the Ignite interface and the install stops at that point.

I believe you have an i/o problem, a dead disk or cabling problem. You need to get that corrected to proceed.

If you boot at the console and interupt the boot there are a few commands you can run to check things out.

After interupt type:

in

io
# look for problems
wa

me

pr


I'm betting we find problems. Once corrected the install can proceed.

Hi,

Are you upgrading an existing system to 11i. These errors normally mean you have a hardware problem on the system. Since it is not listing the device, it is difficult to say what that hardware is.

Hope this helps.

This happened to me some days ago on a runing D-Class server. One disk was broken. Disk was changed and all is fine now.

Problem is that if you don't have running system on it, you may have problems to find wich disk...

io, wa, pr commands is not detect any errors.
io:
System bus adapter 0 0x5820 0xb10 0x0
Local bus adapter 0/0 1 0x7820 0xa00 0x0
.

Ethernet cntlr 0/0/0/0 0x1011 0x19 0 1
SCSI bus cntlr 0/0/1/0 0x1000 0xb 0 1

I think, it is not disk problem, because today at the morning installing of HP-UX 11.00 on this machine was success!
Please, help!
Model: hp server rp5450 (model string 9000/800/L2000-44)

Thank you.

It seem that it was the second solution by SEP. This is problably a cabling problem. THis might have been more easy with a dead disk (disk replacement). Now, you should verify everithing is well plugged, and if you don't find the problem, you may fear a defect in a bus, a card... It's not good news.

Did you saw something in GSP log ?

Hi,

Could be you need to upgrade your PDC (firmware) before you can install 11.11.

11.00 patch for PDC version 44.28

Best regards,

Patch for PDC version 44.28 was installed before installing HP-UX 11.11, but it is not solve the problem...
Now, I just install HP-UX 11.00, because it works well!

Thank you.

Consider this is no version related problem, but probably a hardware/connection problem. We are never bugproof but your problem may still be there in 11.00... Maybe you'd better open a call to HP support.

Here is another moment: I need to reinstall HP-UX, because one of two disks was broken and removed (it was boot disk), so there is one disk left in the server. Before the disk crash the HP-UX 11.00 OS was installed. Now I want to install HP-UX 11.11. Can removing one of the disks result in this problem?

Thank you.
