(PA-RISC Systems Only)
-vm
Boot the system in VxVM maintenance mode, configure only the root
volume, and then initiate single user mode.
-tm Boot the system in tunable maintenance mode, also known as "failsafe
boot" mode. This option will disregard the tunable settings and module
settings in the kernel configuration, and boot with known good settings
instead. Note: some systems that have been updated from earlier versions
of HP-UX have boot loaders that do not support this flag. On those sys-
tems, the flag -f0x40000 can be used instead.
-lq Boot the system with quorum override option. This option is used in a
scenario where a disk is removed from the system or is otherwise unavail-
able, but the corresponding entry for the physical volume has not yet been
removed from the volume group using vgreduce.
variable
=value Set the specified variable to the specified value. (No whitespace is
allowed.)
If variable is a kernel tunable parameter, this sets the value of that tun-
able, overriding the value in the kernel configuration being booted. value
must be a decimal integer or a hexadecimal integer (with a
0x prefix).
boot places some restrictions on object files it can load. It accepts only the HP-UX magic numbers
EXEC-
MAGIC
(0407), SHAREMAGIC (0410), and DEMANDMAGIC (0413). See magic(4). The object file must con-
tain an Auxiliary Header of the HPUX_AUX_ID type and it must be the first Auxiliary Header (see
a.out(4)).
ll and ls Operations
The ll and ls operations list the contents of the HP-UX directory specified by the optional devicefile. The
output is similar to that of
ls -aFl command.
The default devicefile is generated just as for boot, defaulting to the current directory.
set autofile Operation
The set autofile operation overwrites the contents of the autoexecute file, autofile, with the
string specified (see
autoexecute in the EXAMPLES section).
show autofile Operation
The show autofile operation displays the contents of the autoexecute file, autofile (see
autoex-
ecute
in the EXAMPLES section).
DIAGNOSTICS
If an error is encountered, hpux prints diagnostic messages to indicate the cause of the error. These mes-
sages fall into the General, Boot, Copy, Configuration, and System Call categories. System Call error mes-
sages are described in errno(2). The remaining messages are listed below.
General
bad minor number in devicefile spec
The minor number in the devicefile specification is not recognized.
bad path in devicefile spec
The hardware path in the devicefile specification is not recognized.
no path in devicefile spec
The devicefile specification requires (but does not contain) a hardware path component.
panic (in hpuxboot): (display== number, flags==number) string
A severe internal hpux error has occurred. Report to your nearest HP Field Representative.
Boot
bad magic
The specified object file does not have a recognizable magic number.
bad number in flags spec
The flags specification in the -f option is not recognized.
Exec failed: Cannot find /stand/vmunix or /vmunix.
Neither /stand/vmunix or /vmunix could be found.
