VxVM Boot Disk Recovery
If there is a failure to boot from the VxVM boot disk on HP-UX 11i
Version 1.5, use one of the following methods to recover. The method you
choose depends on the type of failure:
• use the recovery media if:
— the kernel is corrupted
— files required for boot up are missing
• use the VxVM maintenance mode boot if:
— LABEL file is missing or corrupt
— /etc/vx/volboot file is missing or corrupt
— ioconfig file is missing or corrupt
— device files are missing or corrupt
Symptoms and procedures are described in the white paper, VxVM
Maintenance Mode Boot.
If these methods fail, use the “Reinstallation Recovery” procedures
described below.
