[prasadb]

[prasadb]

machine model : 9000/800/L2000-44
OS : B.11.11

I'm not sure what's wrong. It seems when you login, it shuts down.
The system is ready.
GenericSysName [HP Release B.11.11] (see /etc/issue)

Press Q/q to quit, Enter to continue:
Console Login: May 20 15:00:06 dldptest01 syslogd: bind: Address already in use

SHUTDOWN PROGRAM

It seems you should have tried logging on here.
Then during the shutdown, there were more login prompts:
Killing user processes .......................................
GenericSysName [HP Release B.11.11] (see /etc/issue)
Console Login:
GenericSysName [HP Release B.11.11] (see /etc/issue)
Console Login: OK

(Instead of typing "OK" above, you should have logged in.)

Do you have a serial console or graphics?

Have you tried booting in single user mode?
Is there something in your profile that immediately will shutdown the system?

[Jeeshan]

what do u see if you go through the system live events from GSP while booting?

[prasadb]

on GSP menu when i type CO (console)..the i come at the prompt

Main Menu: Enter command or menu >

i typed then > bo pri

and after that i have taken the seesion prompt which i have attached the text file.

please help

[Dennis Handly]

>i have taken the session prompt which i have attached the text file.

It looks like your disk is bad:
IPL error: bad LIF magic.

[Jeeshan]

did you try to boot from the secondary mirrored disk?

[prasadb]

Ehsan, no mirroring is there in this system, in fact it is a test server and in total i have two disks in the system, also tell me how to boot it in single user mode and how does help to troubleshoot the problem ..

thanks

Try booting in single user mode, I have a feeling that may not help.

Try booting in lvm maintenance mode using hpux -lm at ISL prompt when it asks you to press any key within 10 seconds while booting.

Similarlt hpux -is can be used to boot in single user mode.

[Saravanan_rg]

Hi Prasad

you can use PDC to boot the system in single-user mode for maintenance
purposes. The PDC command used for this purpose is:
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > boot pri -is
On other machines, you can stop the boot process and use ISL to boot into single-user mode as
shown here.
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > boot pri
Interact with ISL (Y or N)?> Y
When you get the ISL prompt, use the following command to boot into single-user mode.
ISL> hpux
Best u have to tried run recovery console mode.

[prasadb]

hello Saravanan_rg

i run the following commands as you said:
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > boot pri -is
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > boot pri
Interact with ISL (Y or N)?> Y

but after the giving acknowledgement to the message two times, nothing happens ..

it is stuck at this point
Anything else skip redisplay the log entry

now also tell me
> Best u have to tried run recovery console mode.

how to do this

[Mridul Shrivastava]

for recovery console mode , you need to boot the system with OS CD and then select the recovery from there...

It will gove you some options there abt what do you want to repair.. Try repairing the LVM structure without replacing vmunix.

[SUDHAKAR_18]

Have U took any Ignite copies before(latest)?

I think disk is having problem.(Intermittently not detecting)

[prasadb]

i have inserted the OS CD , please tell me how to have the recovery console mode

This is the message i am getting on my screen...





BOOTLIF PATH VERIFICATION MENU

This menu must be used to determine the path of the bootlif (ISL, HPUX
and the AUTO file). When the information is correct, select 'a'.

INFORMATION to verify:
Path of the bootlif is 0/0/2/0.2.0.

Select one of the following:
a. The above information is correct.
b. WRONG!! Prompt the user for a new bootlif path.

m. Return to the 'HP-UX Recovery MENU.'
x. Exit to the shell.

Selection: a

mkboot failed to update the bootlif!
