Dealing with a Boot Failure

Dealing with a Boot Failure
If your usual boot device (typically a disk) is not responding as it should,
you must try to boot from the disk (or another boot device) by selecting it
manually. Note that you must be superuser (root) to perform the steps in
this section.
To boot a device manually, follow these steps:
1. Follow the directions in Chapter 8 , "The Boot Console Interface," on
page 135.
Your computer automatically shuts down the operating system before it
terminates the power.
2. At the Main Menu prompt, type the following and press
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl
This causes you computer to search exhaustively for bootable media.
3. Boot from one of the listed devices by typing the following at the
prompt and press
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device
where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in
mnemonic style notation, such as FWSCSI.5.0.
4. If your computer still fails to boot, there is either something wrong
with the file system or with the hardware. If you suspect a file system
failure, see the manual Using HP-UX for help on dealing with file
system failures (And make sure the SCSI terminators are in place!) If
you think that something is wrong with the hardware, continue
reading this chapter for more troubleshooting information.
