Run levels:

0 > shutdown hpux

S > single user mode booted to local console only with root FC (RO) mounted
s > same as S only current terminal acts as system console.
1 > single user mode with local FS (RW) mounted
2 > multi user state with CDE launched
3 > same as 2 but with NFS
4 > GUI (here VUE started instead CDE)
5,6 > reserved

Boot process:
1) PDC (processor dependent code) gets executed
a) Checks CPU
b) Checks stable storage for boot path
c) Loads ISL utilities from leaf area of boot disk
d) Here you can halt boot using ESC key and can run PO, SEA commands.
2) ISL (Initial system loader) gets loaded
a) Read AUTO file default kernel
b) Load and runs HPUX from LIF area
c) Here you can halt boot process and boot system into single user mode. U can provide diff
options to SSL i.e. kernal vmunix. Like hpux –is, hpux –lq, hpux –lm
3) HPUX loads (Secondary system loader)
a) Uses options and path names from ISL to load kernel
b) And by default loads vmunix
4) After kernel vmunix gets loaded –
a) Swapper deamon starts with PID 0
b) Kernel runs /sbin/pre_init_rc
c) Kernel calls /sbin/init
d) /sbin/init reads /etc/inittab and calls –
i) /sbin/ioinit – to scan hardware and build kernel io tree
ii) /sbin/bcheckrc – to check FS listed in /etc/fstab
iii) /sbin/rc – to start additional services like lp, cron, cde
iv) /usr/sbin/getty – to start n show login prompt to user.

UID range:
1 to 60,000, 0 is reserved for root. And 1 to 100 is for system accounts.
Above 60,000 also u can create user but he wont be able to access any of system resources.

Password file commands:

#vipw – to edit passwd file with lock so other user can not modify while its open
#pwck – check passwd file for consistency
#pwcon – generate shadow file
/etc/skel is template directory. User default profile is being copied from this directory to user’s home
directory once new user gets created

Hardware addressing:
c t d – controller target device numbers
Major no – Kernal device class driver
Minor no – Physical location, access options etc.

Max FS size:
Range default
LVs per VG 1 to 255 255
PVs per VG 1 to 255 16
PEs per VG 1 to 66,535 1016
As max PE size is 64MB and 66,535 Pex max per VG, one can create max of 64x66353=4TB of file system.

Groups:
Groups are primary and secondary. At a time single user can be member of one primary and 16
secondary groups i.e. total of 17 groups only

If u now select
RAID Properties
it gives option to ceate IR volumes.. which means hardware mirror is broked

Building one depot file:

First, use swcopy to copy all your depots to one directory depot:
swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /some/where/thing1.depot \* @ /some/place/directorydepot
swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /some/where/thing2.depot \* @ /some/place/directorydepot
NOTE: you must escape or quote the asterisk (as above), because you don't want the shell to replace it
with a list of file names.
The resulting directory depot is accessible over the network by swinstall as-is. (You can install from
another HP-UX system like this: "swinstall -s hostname:/some/place/directorydepot")
But if you want to create a single .depot file, you must use swpackage as a second step. (The .depot files
are actually images of swinstall tapes, hence "media_type=tape".)
swpackage -x media_type=tape -s /some/place/directorydepot \* @ /some/location/everything.depot

Change MP IP:
connect to console
cm -- to goto command menu
cl to view
ce to edit
xd - reset

Clone mount point:

symdg list --- chk the dg lsit
symdg show testdb_flash_dg --- check the dg target devices (get disk num from here)
vgimport -v testdbvg07 /dev/disk/disk284 /dev/disk/disk285 -- Import them with relevent vg name
vgexport -p -s -m /tmp/vg07.map testdbvg07 -- export the vg again
cp /tmp/vg07.map /usr/emc/scripts/testdb_clone/vgtest/vg07.map -- copy currebtly fresh map file to

glance not working:

/opt/perf/bin/ovpa stop all
/opt/perf/bin/midaemon -T
Check if midaemon has stopped( use the command ps -ef | grep mid to check if midaemon is stopped or
not) If it is still running kill the process.
/opt/perf/bin/ttd -kill
/opt/OV/bin/ovc -kill
rm -rf /var/opt/perf/datafiles/RUN

Start OVPA
/opt/perf/bin/midaemon -bufsets 16 -skipbuf 8 -smdvss 512M
/opt/perf/bin/ovpa start all
/opt/OV/bin/ovc -start
/opt/perf/bin/perfstat -p

In order to permanently use the startup parameters for midaemon, it's necessary to edit the
"/etc/rc.config.d/ovpa " file, please add the following two lines, right before the line "MWA_START=1 ":

MIPARMS = "-p -bufsets 32 -skipbuf 8 -smdvss 512M "

export MIPARMS

Also I noticed that scopeux it's complaining about corrupted logfiles, under this scenario it would be
better to start with a new set of log-files. After modifying the "/etc/rc.config.d/ovpa " file, please do the
following:

Stop OVPA
/opt/perf/bin/ovpa stop all
/opt/perf/bin/midaemon -T
/opt/perf/bin/ttd -kill
rm /var/opt/perf/datafiles/RUN

Move the logfiles to a temporary location

mv /var/opt/perf/datafiles/log* /var/opt/perf/datafiles/tmp/

Start OVPA
/opt/perf/bin/ovpa start all

And then you can start glance. We can check if midaemon is running with the startup parameter by
using the command "ps -ef | grep midaemon", you should see an output similar to the following:

# ps -ef | grep midaemon

root 19922 1 0 Oct 3 ? 5:08 /opt/perf/bin/midaemon -p

Online PV expansion i.e. storage LUN size increased:

for online expansion of physical disk ,ie size increases but LUN same.
/dev/rdisk/disk16 8+267 -> 275GB (online expansion)
Vg to be modified vg01
diskinfo is now 275GB // previously 8GB
#vgmodify -t vg01 // to check the table available for disk
#vgmodify -r -a -p 36 -e 20988 vg01 // -r is for review option and p and e values comes from above
output.
#vgmodify -a -p 36 -e 20988 vg01 // this will make changes ...

Reduce blade CPU:

Boot server and run below commands at EFI shell
info cpu
cpuconfig 0 off
where 0 is cpu socket number which you want to deconfigured.

Replace faulty disk online:

-Check old disk info
ioscan -m lun /dev/disk/disk175
-deactivate old disk
pvchange -a n /dev/disk/disk175_p2
-replace new disk with old one
ioscan -fnCdisk
insf -e -C disk
-make sure old disk is offline and no_hw and new disk is online
-replace wwid with below
scsimgr replace_wwid -D /dev/rdisk/<old disk>
-redirect the device files with
io_redirect_dsf -d /dev/disk/<old disk> -n /dev/disk/<new disk>
-create few steps till makeboot to create new dsf
io_redirect_dsf -d /dev/disk/disk233 -n /dev/disk/disk175
-make sure now old disk is shown as onlien and claimed in ioscan
-restore config
vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00 /dev/rdisk/disk175_p2
-Activate disk
pvchange -a y /dev/disk/<old disk>_p2
pvchange -a y /dev/disk/disk175_p2

-make sure sync is started

lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol* |grep -i stale|wc -l

Restore system using network ignite backup:

Goto igniteserver
#cd /var/opt/ignite/clients
copy the source netowrk ignite into MAC dir of the destination server
#mkdir 0x6EBC14DA8DD8 ----------- can be obtained using lanadress at EFI or ---> hpvmstatus
<servername> ---> MAC ID
#cp -pr 0x001E0B5CB6A8 (source mac) 0x6EBC14DA8DD8 (dest mac)
chown -R bin:bin 0x6EBC14DA8DD8
chmod -R 755 0x6EBC14DA8DD8
goto destination server, power up and get into EFI
dbprofile -dn testprofile -sip x.x.x.x -cip x.x.x.x -gip x.x.x.x -m 255.255.255.0 -b
"/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"
where
sip = ignite server ip
cip = client i.e. desitnation server ip
gip = gateway ip
-m = submet mask
then boot the server with this profile
lanboot select -dn testprofile
continue the setup
Replace faulty disk online (needs re-mirroring):
To remove the bad PE and then add the new PE, First deactivate PV
#pvchange -a n /dev/vg00/disk3_p2
reduce all lvols mirror copies forcefully
#lvreduce -k -m 0 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/vg00/disk3_p2
IF THERE ARE STALE LE PRESENT USE
lvreduce -k -m 0 /dev/vg00/lvol1 2 --- here 2 is PE number shown in lvdisplay -v command i.e. PV2 below

--- Logical extents ---

LE PV1 PE1 Status 1 PV2 PE2 Status 2
00000 /dev/disk/disk2_p2 00000 current /dev/disk/disk3_p2 00000 current
00001 /dev/disk/disk2_p2 00001 current /dev/disk/disk3_p2 00001 current

now reduce vg forcefully

#vgreduce -f vg00
now remove HD, Insert new HD in slot, ioscan, re mirror again.

Root FS getting full:

Remove any core files
/var/adm/crash
find / -xdev -name core -exec rm {} \;
look for in the '/' file system is a "real" file in the /dev directory.
Do this:
# cd /dev
# find . -type f | xargs ls -l
If this returns anything then examine it closely. There should be nothing other than device files in the
/dev directory structure.
you could check is if someone made an error using a tar command.
# ll /dev/rmt

Sharing dvd:
on host
#swreg -l depot /mydvd
on guest
#swinstall -s <host IP>:/mydvd

Single user mode:

After you type 'bo pri', the system will prompt you 'interact with ipl?'
Answer with 'y'.
The prompt be:
ISL>
Type 'hpux -is'
that will put you into single user mode.
passwd root
