Boot Problems

[Phani_K]

Hi Techs,

I am having problems to boot the server. I am getting the following messages and went to maintenance mode. Don't know how to fix the qlogck problem. any steps or any documents are helpful.

/sbin/rcS: /etc/dfs/sharetab: cannot create

First thing I am concerned of this:

'Read-only file system'mount: mount-point /var/run does not exist.

Have you checked this if /etc/  or /var/  or / is mounted read only ?  what about /var/run  does it exists or missing ?

Hi Gaurav,

/, /var are not mounted. I've remounted them and /var/run is swap file. Here is my sample vfstab file. c1t3d0 is my mirror disk and c0t4d0 is my root disk. I've dumped the entire OS to mirror disk using ufsrestore and mounted it as /root-ufsrestore and /var-ufsrestore and the same entries i've given in /etc/vfstab file. but while booting up with mirror disk, am getting the above qlogck messages.

#/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s1      -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c1t3d0s1       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c1t3d0s0       /dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s0      /       ufs     1       no      logging

I've fixed the problem. the entries in the vfstab file is wrong for the mirror disk. i've modified the /var-ufsrestore to /var and booted up.. the system came up.

Hi,

the boot problems have cleared now. I've facing a mount issue now. I encapsulated the disk and booted the server has came up without issues. but when i rund df -k i see the mount points as below.

/dev/vx/dsk/rootvol  8258597 3910207 4265805    48%    /
/proc                      0       0       0     0%    /proc
fd                         0       0       0     0%    /dev/fd
mnttab                     0       0       0     0%    /etc/mnttab
/dev/vx/dsk/var      4129290 1010595 3077403    25%    /var
swap                   10240      40   10200     1%    /var/run
swap                 14131720     808 14130912     1%    /tmp
 

Both /, /var are showing as volume file systems. but they are not part of rootdg diskgroup. Actually the entries should be "/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/rootvol & /dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/var" but they mounted as /dev/vx/dsk/rootvol & /dev/vx/dsk/var".. Is it OK or they need changes.?  if changes are required, how to do that? any technote will be helpful.

Thanks

You never mentioned your VxVM version?

The device name is normal for versions up to 3.5.

Upgrade to version 4.x converts the /dev/vx/dsk/* entries in /etc/vfstab to /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/*

Hi,

Here is the version details.
