LIFCP differs

[Prashant Zanwar_4]

# lifcp /dev/dsk/c1t2d0:AUTO -
hpux -lq
# lifcp /dev/dsk/c2t2d0:AUTO -
hpux -lq(;0)/vmunix

Hi my lifcp output is differing as above. Is this something to be concerned about, how to rectify it.
Thanks & rgdz

Yes, I would be concerned about /dev/dsk/c2t2d0.

To fix it do the following:

# mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0

Now when you do the 'lifcp' they should match.

Hi,
Can I do it without breaking mirror. Please advise
Thanks and rgdz

[Patrick Wallek]

Yes you can. Just issue the command I gave above.

[Prashant Zanwar_4]

Will I be able to boot without quorum then.
Thanks and rgdz

[Patrick Wallek]

Yes! That is what the '-lq' (low quorum) does. That problem with your current c2t2d0 output is that it just specifies /vmunix, which is incorrect. If you want to specify the kernel on the boot line it should be /stand/vmunix.

The shortened 'hpux -lq' works fine as well though, which is what I use on almost all servers.

I have done "mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c2t2d0 and now the output do match for both the disk. And i have compared with one good server, so should be okay.
I appreciate all you help very much
Thanks a lot
