. Creating a Recovery System A \recovery system" is a special tape containing a subset of the HP-UX operating system. In the event of an operating system failure that prevents you from booting or logging into HP-UX, you can boot from the recovery system tape and use the tools on the tape to repair the le system on your disk.

If the problem recurs, record the symptoms, the status of any indicators (especially any LED displays) on your processor, and any messages that appear on your system console. At this stage in the boot process, most of the problems that occur require your hardware to be serviced by a person trained and qualied to do so.

Page 138: Recovering From A System Panic
Recovering from a System Panic In HP-UX terms, a system panic simply means that the operating system encountered a condition that it did not know how to respond to, so it halted your workstation. System panics are rare and not always the result of a catastrophe. They sometimes occur at boot if your system was previously not shut down properly.

VME Overview (Models 747i/50 and 747i/100) VME (\Versa Module Eurocard") cards use a VME bus protocol which allows various kinds of microprocessors to communicate with one another. The protocol is microprocessor independent, implements a reliable mechanical standard, and allows independent vendors to build compatible products. One feature of VME is that multiple CPUs, such as the Model 742rt, can be congured into the same VME backplane.
Page 157: Vme Performance
All VME cards require kernel drivers. The HP-UX kernel provides a set of services in the leset which allows the user-provided kernel drivers VME-SERV access to VME space. You can use SAM to ensure that the driver is in vme2 your HP-UX kernel.
