Dealing With A Boot Failure - HP J Class Owner's Manual

Dealing with a
Boot Failure
The search command
looks for bootable media
on your workstation.
6-10
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.
To boot a device manually, follow these steps:
1.
Follow the directions in "Accessing the Boot Console Interface,"
in Appendix D of this book.
NOTICE: Your workstation automatically shuts down the
operating system before it terminates the power.
2.
At the Main Menu prompt, type the following:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl
This causes your workstation to search exhaustively for bootable
media.
3.
Boot from one of the listed devices by typing the following at
the prompt:
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 scsi.5.0.
4.
If your workstation 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. If you think that something is
wrong with the hardware, continue reading this chapter for more
troubleshooting information.
