swaping disk from B1 to A1 in L1000

[Ranveer]

Dear All

In my L1000 server the root disk is installed in B1(0/0/1/1.2) slot. Now this slot is having problem.from this slot server is not booting. I fixed new disk to this B1 slot and try to load HP unix but failed.so i loaded the hp by installing new disk in A1(0/0/2/0/2, it loaded successfully.so i came to conclusion that my original disk is fine but slot B1 is having problem.
so I want to insert original disk to A1( 0/0/2/0.2)
after inserting in A1, it is detected by Sea command.

but it is not booting in A1. what are the changes should i make to boot the server form A1(0/0/2/0.2)?

Please help me.

Also is this a boot disk?? Have you boot through it in the past?

Hi,

Can u boot in maintenance mode?
what's the output of lvlnboot -v?

[Morcos]

If you can boot in -lm, but not otherwise, then it could be a couple of things:

your autoboot string does not point to the correct disk.


Your lvlnboot info could be bad:

lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1

If you install your boot disk in a different slot, the hw-path is changing.

install the drive in the new slot and boot to LVM maintenance mode.

#hpux -lm

install device files

#insf -e

vgexport and vgimport the vg00

(e.g.
#vgexport vg00
#mkdir /dev/vg00
#mknod /dev/vg00/group c 64 0x000000
#vgimport /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/cxtyd0

configure the boot information
(lvlnboot -r|-b|-d ...

reboot!
