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.
