Step 5 Attach the new disk to the active volume group with the vgchange command. vgchange -a y /dev/vg00 Step 6 If the disk is not a mirror of a root disk, then skip this step. Run the mkboot command. For example: mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t5d0 Run lvlnboot -R to relink the replaced disk into the Boot Data Reserved Area of all the Physical volumes in the Volume group. lvlnboot -R Step 7 Run the lvsync command to synchronize the physical extents of each logical volume specied by logical volume path. Synchronization occurs only on physical extents that are stale mirrors of the original logical extent. lvsync /dev/<volume group name>/<LV name> For example: lvsync /dev/vg00/stand lvsync /dev/vg00/swap lvsync /dev/vg00/ At this stage, your system should be fully functioning. Use the xstm command to verify.
CD ROM Drive (Optional) As an optional component, the J6700 workstations support one slim-line CD ROM drive with an ATAPI (IDE) interface. Figure 1-4 shows the operating features of the CD ROM drive, and Table 1-3 describes these features. Figure 1-4. CD ROM Drive Features

Troubleshooting Dealing with a Boot Failure
Dealing with a Boot Failure
This section contains information for searching for bootable media, stable storage, boot command notations, supported boot paths and the Intermediate System Loader (ISL) environment. Some of the examples in this section require the use of the Boot Console Handler, which is discussed in Chapter 5 of this handbook.

Special Considerations

When dealing with boot failures, you will need to consider the scenarios in this section. To boot from a known device containing a bootable operating system, type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot device [Enter]

where device Notation.

is the hardware path to the device, specied in Mnemonic Style
Example: to boot an operating system stored on an IDE CD ROM, go to the Main Menu of the Boot Console Handler and then type the following command at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot ide [Enter]
The operating system on the specied device is used to start the workstation. To interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the workstation, type the following at the prompt:
You are prompted: Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y [Enter] Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specied device. After a short time, the following prompt appears on the screen:

ISL>

ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system. For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk has become corrupted, boot the workstation from the backup kernel (/stand/vmunix.prev) by typing the following at the ISL> prompt:
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev [Enter]
To nd the location of the bootable operating systems on the various media in the le system, use the search ipl command. See the next subsection, Searching for Bootable Media.
Searching for Bootable Media

To list all devices that contain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot Console Handler, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl [Enter]
The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there are lines on the display. If you are using a text terminal, you can control the progress of the search from the terminals keyboard by doing any of the following: To temporarily suspend the search, press [Ctrl]-[S]. To continue the search, press [Ctrl]-[Q]. To halt the search, press any other key. These ow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display can show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them. To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot Console Handler, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl device_type [Enter]
where device_type is one of the following: fwscsi is the internal, Ultra2 Wide LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI bus. scsi is the external SE/LVD SCSI bus. lan is all connections to the built-in LAN. ide is the built-in CD ROM drive. pcin is an optional SCSI interface in slot number n.

Stable Storage

Stable Storage is non-volatile memory associated with the PA-RISC processor module. Stable Storage is used by the processor (CPU) to store device path information, the state of the boot ags, HPMC error information, and operating system initialization data.

Boot Command Notations

The boot command supports the following two notations: Mnemonic Path number Type help scsi or help lan for more information on the boot path parameters. Here are examples of mnemonic notation: boot with no parameters selects the primary boot path in stable storage. boot with the alternate or alt parameter selects the alternate boot path in stable storage.
Here is an example of path number notation: boot p1 [Enter] attempts to boot from the second path in a list generated by a previous search command.

Supported Boot Paths

SCSI devices are bootable when connected to any SCSI port on the system. Workstations can only boot from the built-in LAN port. The workstation can be booted from the CD ROM drive for software installation.
Intermediate System Loader (ISL) Environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX) environment. The ISL environment also provides an ofine platform to execute diagnostic and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load. The ISL program is the rst program loaded into main memory from an external media (LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine during the Boot Administration environment. The ISL environment provides the following capabilities: Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable storage. Run off-line diagnostic programs and utilities. Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset.

Troubleshooting Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
This workstation uses a 2-line LCD, with up to 16-characters per line, to display rmware/operating system progress codes. These codes are referred to as chassis codes. The information displayed on the LCD has the following format:
XXX YYYY: ZZZZZZ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (Line 1) (Line 2)

Where:

XXX YYYY ZZZZZZ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Three-character Operating Status Four-digit hex code identifying the code module being executed Six-digit FRU descriptor Diagnostic message of up to 16 characters
The 3-character operating status can be one of the following:
FLT (fault) TST (test) INI (initialize) SHU (shutdown) WRN (warning) RUN (running)
A hardware error has been detected Hardware being tested Hardware being initialized System being shutdown A non-optimal operating condition exists The operating system is running

Selftest Failures

Chassis codes are the key to debugging selftest errors. If a failure is found during selftest, chassis codes are displayed in the system LCD. To debug a failure: 1. In Table 3-1 starting on the next page, nd the chassis code listed on the LCD. 2. In the Boot Console Handler, use the Service Menus pim, pdt, and ChassisCodes commands to get additional information about the failure. The FRU column in Table 3-1 shows messages printed on the LCD that refer to system FRUs. All codes are listed in numeric order.

Memory Failures

The J6700 workstations require special Memory Page Deallocation to be implemented. This feature allows the workstation to provide information to the operating system about memory failures. HP-UX uses this information to map out failing memory areas and continue normal operation. You can check the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) using the pdt command in the Service menu of the Boot Console Handler (refer to Chapter 5). If a failing DIMM is replaced, use the command pdt clear in the Service Menu to clear out the PDT.

Chassis Codes

Table 3-1 lists all of the chassis codes for the J6700 workstations. Table 3-1. Chassis Codes for J6700 Workstations

Boot Console Handler Displaying and Setting the Security Mode
Displaying and Setting the Security Mode
The secure ag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this ag to a new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation. When the secure ag is set to on, auto boot and auto search are enabled and cannot be stopped. The workstation boots from the default boot paths regardless of user intervention. To display the current setting for the secure ag, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure [Enter]
To set the secure ag on, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure on [Enter]
To set the secure ag off, you need to disconnect all possible boot devices to interrupt the boot sequence and force the prompt to the Boot Console Handler. Next, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure off [Enter]
Boot Console Handler Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode
Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode
When fastboot is enabled (set to on), the workstation does a quick check of the memory and skips some processor selftests during its power-on selftests. This enables the workstation to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled (set to on). When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory and processor testing is performed during the selftests, causing the boot process to take longer. If you are experiencing difculty in booting the workstation, set fastboot to off and reboot the system. The more extensive testing may reveal the error condition. To display the status of fastboot, type the following:

If the Remote Power Controller (RPC) is enabled and it seems to be unresponsive, press the Enter key several (approximately 15 times) times. You need to do this because the Remote Power Controller auto senses the baud rate at the beginning of each command (that is, when you press Enter). It does this by measuring the width of the start bit of the rst character it sees. Because the Remote Power Controller does not know the difference between the beginning of a command or any other data that may occur on the receive line, the Remote Power Controller can set the baud rate to an incorrect value if the rst character it sees has the lowest order bit or bits set. The Remote Power Controller has an input buffer of a xed size; therefore, pressing the Enter key 15 or more times causes the buffer to overow, resetting the Remote Power Controller. If the baud rate was set to some real extreme value, you may have to try this process several times.
Boot Console Handler Setting the Fan Speed

Setting the Fan Speed

There are two fan speed settings available on the J6700 workstation. The RackMount fan speed is used for J6700s that are installed in a rack. The DeskSide fan speed is used for J6700s that are used as desk-side systems. These fan speeds are set using the Boot Console Handler (bch). To set the fan speeds, follow the procedures discussed in this section.

Rack-Mount Fan Speed

If you currently have a desk-side workstation that you want to convert to a rack-mount workstation, you need to change the workstations fan speed. To do this, follow this procedure: 1. Turn on the workstation and press the Tab key until a select display message appears. Select the display frequency and resolution that are best for your workstation. 2. Stop the boot process by pressing any key before the ten-second limit. This gets you to the Boot Console Handlers (bch) Main Menu. You will only need to do this if you have autoboot turned on; otherwise, the system stops at the bch Main Menu. When the Main Menu prompt appears, type: Main Menu: Enter command > configuration 3. Enter the following command at the Conguration Menu prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > FanChoice RackMount 4. Return to the Main Menu and enter this command at the prompt to continue booting: Main Menu: Enter command > boot

Desk-Side Fan Speed

If you currently have a rack-mount workstation that you want to convert to a desk-side workstation, you need to change the workstations fan speed. To do this, follow this procedure: 1. Turn on the workstation and press the Tab key until a select display message appears. Select the display frequency and resolution that are best for your workstation. 2. Stop the boot process by pressing any key before the ten-second limit. This gets you to the Boot Console Handlers (bch) Main Menu. You will only need to do this if you have autoboot turned on; otherwise, the system stops at the bch Main Menu. When the Main Menu prompt appears, type: Main Menu: Enter command > configuration
3. Enter the following command at the Conguration Menu prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > FanChoice DeskSide 4. Return to the Main Menu and enter this command at the prompt to continue booting: Main Menu: Enter command > boot
Boot Console Handler Initial System Loader (ISL) Environment
Initial System Loader (ISL) Environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX) environment. The ISL environment also provides an ofine platform to execute optional diagnostic and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load. The ISL program is the rst program loaded into main memory from an external medium (LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine from the Boot Administration environment. The ISL environment provides the following capabilities: Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable storage. Run ofine diagnostic programs and utilities. Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset.
Invoking ISL from the Boot Console Handler
Perform the following steps to invoke ISL from the Boot Console Handler: 1. Follow the directions in the section Accessing the Boot Console Handler found in this chapter, and type the following at the prompt:

You are prompted:

Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y [Enter]
2. Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specied device. After a short time, the following prompt appears on the screen:
ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system. For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk has become corrupted, and you wish to boot the workstation from the backup kernel (/stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the ISL> prompt:

ISL User Commands

The following commands that are available in the ISL environment allow you to display and modify the boot characteristics of the system. help - lists ISL command menu and available utilities. display - displays the boot and console paths in Stable Storage and the current setting of the ISL Boot Flags. primpath - modies the primary boot path entry in Stable Storage. The entry in Stable Storage for the primary boot device begins at byte address 0 and ends at 31. altpath - modies the alternate boot path entry in Stable Storage. The entry for the alternate boot device begins at byte address 128 and ends at 159. conspath - modies the console path entry in Stable Storage. The entry in Stable Storage for the console device begins at byte address 96 and ends at byte address 127. The entry for the keyboard and mouse devices begins at byte address 160 and ends at 191. listautofl or lsautofl - lists the contents of the (HP-UX) autoboot le. support - boots the Support Tape from the boot device. readss - displays 4 bytes (one word) from Stable Storage. The readss command requires a decimal number between 0 and 255 to address four bytes in Stable Storage.
