ISL problem

[Beauregard]

Hi everyone,

My HP-UX server booting from /stand/WINSTALL. I want booting from /stand/vmunix automaticaly. I don't know how to change this configuration.

Someone help me ??

Your server has been hit by an attempted Ignite boot.

This ISL configuration is supposed to eneable the box to boot of an Ignite server to get a new image.

I think you need go to the console and reset the autostart parameters.

#setboot will tell it what your primary and alt boot paths are. My guess is the primary is your CD.

#setboot
Primary bootpath : 0/0/1/1.2.0
Alternate bootpath : 0/0/2/0.2.0

Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Autosearch is ON (enabled)

That is done using the mkboot command.

e.g.

mkboot -a "hpux (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0

Man mkboot for details. Before changing the auto file string, I would manually boot from /stand/vmunix to make sure that all is well.

Hi,

Looks like this server was booted off of an ignite server which modified the auto file. At the ISL you could try the following.

ISL>hpux /stand/vmunix

If it boots well, then you can change the auto file using the command.

mkboot -a 'hpux -lq' /dev/dsk/c2t6d0

lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
lvlnboot -d /de/vg00/lvol2

provided you didn't change your default lv names.

hi
First check the vmunix kernal by booting from that.for that break the auto boot process by pressing any key within 10 sec and type bo pri at pdc menu(Main Menu : bo pri) and intract with isl by answering y to do to want to load isl
at isl prompt /stand/hpux(ISL>/stand/hpux)
if if boots fine and all you applications are working then mkae hpux as default by using mkboot -a 'hpux -lq' /dev/dsk/c2t6d0
BEST OF LUCK

mkboot -a "hpux (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0
