Hi Sudhakar

did you make a copy of vmunix under /stand ?

if so boot from that file anf try to build kernel

#mk_kernel

let's know the result

[Sudhakar J_1]

Hi ravi,
do you mean the vmunix.prev available in /stand.

regards

[Ravi_8]

Hi,

yes, try to boot from vmuix.prev

ISL> boot /stand/vmunix.prev

Judging by your attachment, it looks like PHKL_18543 was reinstalled using the reinstall=true option.

Had a forced reinstall of PHKL_18543 taken place on the system?

if you try to configure the patch, does the new kernel build take?

swconfig PHKL_18543


Hope this helps,

You'd have to recover from a forced reinstall of PHKL_18543... this is ASSUMING that PHKL_18543 had been reinstalled w/ reinstall=true option. You should be able to verify it was reinstalled recently by cheking your swinstall.log or swagent.log files.

If you have a ignite/ux recovery tape, your best bet is to save yourself some headaches (and time)... use the tape to get the box back to the previous state then get your patch bundle installed again. Make sure not to use reinstall=true option.

If there isn't an ignite/ux tape, you can still recover from a reinstall of PHKL_18543. Search for previous forum posts... keywords "PHKL_18543 reinstall recover".. here's one of the results;

Hi,

check the logfile

/var/adm/sw/swagent.log

If there is a session (probably the one where installed QPK MAR 02) where PHKL_18543 was selected for installation and one of the

reinstall

options was set to true you have reinstalled the patch.

Regards,

Jochen

You can find a procedure how to recover from this error (if no ignite tape is available) here

it could have got re-installed if your defaults options have re-install.
check your /var/adm/sw/defaults file.

Hi,

If you had ignite recovery tapejob should have been easy now.

One more option is Boot from Install/Support media
Run recovery shell

Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot for your inputs i found that the 18543 reinstalled for oracle installation, i used the command specified by Richard in this link
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x1a0b3d853cd9d5118ff40090279cd0f9,00.html

i.e. use ar x libname objfilename
then use the what command on object file to find the patch need to be reinstalled.
Installed pathes with reintall=true without dependencies and the Kernel rebuild was successful.

Once again thanks for your support.
