Low qurom command

[zsujith]

Hello,

I have a Itanium server. The boot disk is as shown

Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/disk/disk4_p2 -- Boot Disk
/dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 -- Boot Disk

Want to know how to find whether the low qurom is set for the boot disk and if not how to set it in Itanium servers.

Thanks & Regards

You should always use the "new" device files, like "diskx_py", no longer the "old" ones.

See

http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-3385/ch03s04.html#cbddaicd

example:

# mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdisk/disk4

also

http://docs.hp.com/en/LVMmigration1/LVM_Migration_to_Agile.pdf

for the

/usr/contrib/bin/vgdsf

command in order to convert the "old" to "new" device files.

Hi,

with the itaniums is abit different to the pa boxes. you need to check the s1 partition.

you need something like this

Edit the AUTO file to â lq
#efi_cp â d /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs1 â u /EFI/HPUX/AUTO /tmp/AUTO
#vi /tmp/AUTO
modify boot vmunix to boot vmunix â lq

Then copy file back to both EFI partitions (both disks)
#efi_cp â d /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs1 /tmp/AUTO /EFI/HPUX/AUTO

hi try again

Edit the Auto file to -lq

#efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs1 -u /EFI/HPUX/AUTO /tmp/AUTO

#vi /tmp/AUTO or (cat it to check)

modify boot vmunix to boot vmunix -lq

then copy the file back to both boot disks

#efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs1 /tmp/AUTO /EFI/HPUX/AUTO

Andrew, the procedure I posted is directly taken from the Mirror boot disks on Itanium on 11.31.

According to this it is again "mkboot".
