I received a message from the system that I need to add the following items to the kernel: dkhs, dkux, dkty, dkx, dkmx, and dktm Where do I find these drivers? Are they on a particular CD? I am not sure where to look for them in order to install them. Thanks! Glenn P.S. This thread has been moved from HP 9000 to HP-UX > sysadmin. - Hp Forum Moderator

# make_recovery works with my version of Ignite. # make_tape_recovery does not. I tried making a backup with the no-rewind option as well as making one with the rewind option. In neither case does the tape drive show up as a bootable device. In both cases, it returns the error "ENTRY_TEST" meaning it cannot find the boot part of the tape image even though the # make_recovery procedure clearly states the boot information has been written to the tape. What I need to know is why the system does not see the boot portion of the image when it recognizes the tape drive as a boot choice and how to correct this problem so that I can boot the system from the tape. Thanks! Glenn

I've looked at the relevant posts on the board, but cannot find one that addresses my question. My backup tape system is the DLT 4000 tape drive. I successfully backed up my K370 using the ignite command: # make_recovery -A -v -d /dev/rmt/0m with the option -A specified to backup the entire core volume group/disk (vg00). The operation completes with 'System Recovery Tape successfully created.' However, even though the tape drive is listed in the boot choices menu as P1 (along with the boot disk as P0 and boot from LAN as P2), it has an ENTRY_TEST error which, as I understand it, means that the system could not find the boot entry point on the tape. Hence, the restore will not work since the system will not boot from the tape. What am I doing wrong? My supposedly good backup tapes are not that good if I cannot boot from them to restore the system when needed. Also, what is the command to get a listing of the files on the tape so I can verify all is being recorded? Thanks for the help! Glenn P.S.

I wish I had an explanation as to how the graphics terminal began to work on this system, but I do not. I installed some hardware extensions from CD that might have had something to do with it; however, it works fine now and runs in tandem with the serial terminal, so I have both displays available at the same time, which is what I wanted to achieve. I also made some modifications to the Displays section in SAM that could have caused the display to start working and/or enabled both displays to work at the same time. At any rate, it now works and seems to be solidly installed. Thanks to those who looked at my post. I appreciate it! Glenn

Patrick... Commenting out the 'ded' line in inittab fixed the problem. Also running fsck on the two lvol's fixed them, as well. Thanks for the great help! Glenn

I have installed some networking (and other) software on my K370 and am now getting the following message after successful bootup (system at the # prompt): INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Will try again in 5 minutes. Check for possible errors. id: ded "/sbin/ded" This error repeats itself every five minutes and the system does not return me to the # prompt. How do I exit this loop? Any idea which program is causing this error to appear? What is the fix for it? How do I isolate the particular program causing this so I can remove it or fix it? On the bootup checking run, I get: Starting Datakit subsystem - fail (all other checks pass without error) and lvol5 and lvol8 need checking Is the Datakit subsystem error/fail causing this? How do I check lvol5 (opt) and lvol8 (var)? Thanks! Glenn P.S. This thread has been moved from HP 9000 to HP-UX > sysadmin. - Hp Forum Moderator

The error 'Cannot Find ENTRY_TEST' was related to the tape drive and not to the primary boot path. There was a non-bootable tape installed in the tape drive. Removing the tape resolved the error. Glenn

I am trying to run ODE from a bootable patch CD. It is asking for a password, but the system password does not work. What is the ODE password? Glenn

I have been able to extend several lvol's on my K370. However, when I try to extend /stand (lvol1), I get this message: lvextend: Not enough free physical extents available. Logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol1" could not be extended. Failure possibly caused by contiguous allocation policy. Failure possibly caused by strict allocation policy. When I try it with: /sbin/extendfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvol1 I get this message: /dev/vg00/rlvol1 invalid super-block I have verified that lvol1 (/stand) is unmounted in both these attempts. Why will the system extend lvol 8, lvol7, and lvol5 using these commands but not extend lvol1? What do these errors mean and how do I get the system to extend lvol1? Also, when using the lvextend command and including the '4096' variable (or any other larger number), is this 4096 bytes, 4096 kilobytes, or 4096 megabytes? Glenn P.S.

Patrick... I got it to work. Thanks! Glenn

Thanks! I cannot umount /var and /opt. The systems says both are in use. Is there any way to take them out of use in order to umount them for resizing? Glenn

I am still having trouble getting my graphics display to work on my K370. I have entered: pa con 8/12.0 which is the proper hardwre path for the display/adapter hardware. The system shows that this has been done. I have the HP terminal console connected to the console port as well as the graphics terminal connected properly to the VISUALIZE-EG card/connector on the back of the machine, including the mouse and keyboard. I continue to get output to the terminal, but nothing displays on the graphics monitor. I have verified that graphics3 is installed in the kernel via SAM. Nothing seems to work, although the graphics setup has worked when this system was in a production environment. (It has since had HPUX 10.20 completely reinstalled, erasing anything on the disks that was there when the machine was in use in a production environment, but the system hardware has not changed.) I am at a loss as to what to try or do next to get this display to function properly. Any input any of you have about the process to make this operational would be appreciated! Glenn

My K370 will boot fine. However, during the boot-up process, I get the error: Cannot find ENTRY_TEST WARN 80F9 The process recovers from this and continues to boot up successflly to single user mode. What is the nature and meaning of this error message and what is the recovery from it? Glenn

I have tried doing a number of the things you suggested, but am still confused and am not getting anywhere. Online JFS is not installed as best I can tell. I cannot find it on any of the four application CDs. Do you know where/how it is distributed so I can check my other CDs to see if I have it? Does it go by any other name in the list of applications on the application CDs? I always boot into single user mode at root level as this system is set up as a single user system (no networking and no other users, with no plans to change that). Can I umount/mount vg00 while the system is running? I want to add space to /opt and to /var as the software install procedure reports not enough space in these two directories. (I have two /var directories. Why is this and how do I differentiate between them? I do not know which one the install is trying to use. I would think I need to know which one in order to extend the right one.) Can you give me the command line to add space to these directories? Also, how do I find which rlvol number to use in the command line? Are /opt and /var located by default on any one particular rlvol? The command fsadm -b 4096m /usr returns the following: fsadm: illegal option -- b What does that mean? The documentation book says that fsadm is only available with the Advanced VxFS package. How do I know if I have that installed? Is this the same thing as Online JFS? Neither of these names show up when using the swlist command. Thanks! Glenn

Patrick... Thanks so much for the great detailed information! I will work with it later in the day and update this post with how it goes. Thanks again! Glenn

Although I have over 30GB of storage on my K370, I have one directory that reports it does not have enough space when installing patches. What is the process/procedure to allocate more disk space to a directory? Also, the install process wrote an error log file to /var/adm/sw called swagent.log. How do I read that file (write it to the terminal screen)? Thanks! Glenn P.S. This thread has been moved from HP 9000 to HP-UX > LVM and VxVM. -HP Forum Moderator

OK, thanks! I did not plan to use it as a boot drive.

I am wanting to add two more SCSI drives to the internal drive bay on my K370. The two that are installed are HP A3353 4GB drives and work fine. I cannot find any more A3353 drives, but can find plenty of Seagate ST15150W 4GB drives. Can these be used interchangeably with the A3353 drives since they are physically the same drive units? Glenn

glennes · ‎06-02-2014

I have two 4GB physical drives installed on my K370. The system sees both of them. I am trying to use SAM to add the second internal SCSI drive I have installed to the existing volume group the first drive belongs to. When I look at the new disk in SAM, it says there is no space on the new drive, but there should be since it is a new drive. How do I erase anything on that drive so that it shows the full 4GB available, then add it to the same volume group (vg00) as the boot drive so that I can have a total of 8 GB of space in the logical volume? The other internal 4GB drive has the system on it and has about half the drive space left over, but that is not enough space to add applications. The system boots from this drive/volume. I want to extend this existing logical volume to show the approximately 6GB of total free space available between the two drives in SAM so that I can add HP applications to the logical volume/group. How do I accomplish this? Glenn P.S. This thread has been moved from HP 9000 to HP-UX > LVM and VxVM. -HP Forum Moderator

I switched to ANSI and got legible output on the emulator screen. Thanks so much for the solution! Glenn

I located the jumper settings in the CE Handbook for the HP 9000 K Series. I copied the relevant pages and attached them to this post in case others can use the information. Thanks for responding! Glenn

glennes · ‎06-01-2014

Dennis... Upon closer examination of the A3353 4 GB hard drive, there is a jumper block located just above the power connector. (See the attached pciture of the jumper blocks.) It has a series of 7 pairs of pins. The jumper was on the same set/pair of pins for both drives. I moved the jumper down one row and that resolved the system crashing error. I assume since there are 7 rows of paired pins that these pins would be the ones to set the SCSI ID for each individual drive. I have installation documentation for adding drives to the internal bay, but there is no mention of setting jumpers on these drives in any documentation I have. I thought the SCSI bus could handle up to 8 drives numbered 0-7, so since this drive only has seven paris of pins, the eighth drive must be configured with no jumper on any row of these pins. There is also another jumper block above the one with 7 rows of paired pins and it had a jumper installed vertically across the two leftmost pins in the two rows. I do not know what that jumper is for. I have tried booting with this jumper off completely on one drive as well as booting with the SCSI jumper on a different set of pins on each drive. In both cases, the system boots and does not crash, but in neither case do either of the two SCSI drives show up in the boot up list, although the drive light on both is working. Only the CD-ROM shows up as a bootable device. When I take the second drive out of the system and restart the system, the first drive then reappears in the boot list and the system will boot fine from it. Am I correct in my assumption about the 7 pairs of pins being the SCSI ID jumper pins? Does it matter the order in which these pins are jumped? As I understand it, it does not matter as long as they are unique on each drive. Do you know what the vertical jumper on the other set of pins is for? Should it be installed at all? On another pair of pins? Installed horizontally like the other jumper? Thanks! Glenn

Dennis... Thanks for the links! I already have the printed copy of the user guide; however, the other two Word documents appear to be useful. I will try making the connections as per those documents and update this thread when I discover what does or does not work. Thanks again! Glenn
