/usr/sbin/diag/lif directory missing

[James M. Dunn]

All,

I just built 2 RP3440's with Dec 2005 11.i v1 O.S and Sept 2005 support plus and I noticed that when I tryed to add the lif to the mirror disk the command failed due to a missing lif directory.


Does anyone know why this may be. If you dont know why, then does anyone know what bundle or patch to apply to gain these files.

mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif -p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0

-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 1459 Oct 14 2004 LIFLOAD.release.notes
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 1124 Oct 14 2004 LIFLOAD.release.notes2
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 32870 Oct 13 2004 get_hversion
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 9206 Oct 13 2004 lifload
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 848896 Oct 14 2004 updatediaglif
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 1287168 Oct 14 2004 updatediaglif2

Thanks in advance,

JD

These are the steps you can follow recover those files:


Online Diagnostics LIF files are not restored during a recovery.
Ignite-UX destroys the old LIF area on the boot disk and lays down new LIF volumes every time the system is installed. At no point during the installation are the old LIF volumes copied and restored to the disk.
To restore the LIF volumes to the disk, reinstall the application, or look at the SD configure scripts for the application and rerun the commands which put the LIF volumes in place on the disk. For example, for the OnlineDiag bundle, the /var/adm/sw/products/LIF-LOAD/LIF-LOAD-MIN/postinstall script puts the OnlineDiag LIF volumes onto the root disk. It uses this command:
/usr/sbin/diag/lif/lifload -f /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif

This was covered a few weeks ago on here in some thread. These are no longer part of the Support Tool Manager (OnlineDiag) bundle. They are included in the Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE). You can order the CDs from software.hp.com. Just search for "Offline Diagnostics". I just ordered them when I read that other thread and they arrived within a week. Haven't done anything with them yet though.

I just finished installing a RP4440 using the same CD's and the RP4440 has all the lif files. Is it possible that is has something to do with the "hardware version"?

james,

tha command used is slightly wrong

mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif -p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0

it should be updatediaglif2 in the middle for 64bit kernel/os

amend it and try again

Andy
