[Chris Wilshaw]

from the uncompress errors, it looks like you may have faulty installation media. Do you have another CD that you can try?

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

I agree with Chris.
Everything up to that point look perfect for a cold install.

Later,
Bill

Hi,

Could be problem with media, try installing with another OS media

[Su Ho Park]

hmm...
i'm trying to install hp-ux 11.0 media five set & 11i media two set...
all media install fail...T.T

[Su Ho Park]

and...
same media install success on another system (k570)...

[Jeff Schussele · Accepted solution]

Hi,

Well, if the media installs OK on other systems, then I'd suspect the DVD drive.
Double check the cabling, swap the drive with another machine if you have one.
But it sure sounds like the drive is not responding properly.

Rgds,
Jeff

Hi,

I had a problem not too different to this before, it turned out to be a Hardware problem and a HP engineer fixed it be resetting the SCSI devices, I'm not sure how this is done.

If you are able to boot from some other partition try running insf and then try the install again.


Otherwise, you might need to place a hardware call with HP.

Hope this is of help,
Alan

[Paula J Frazer-Campbell]

Hi

Down the server and reseat all cables and dvd/cd drive.

Clean the dvd/cd drive.

Try again.

If this fails replace the dvd/cd drive or "borrow" from another server.

[John Bolene]

sounds to me like a disk problem with /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

the load is unable to write to this disk to do the vgcreate

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

either that or a serious memory problem..
what is the disk led status aroundf this timne.
