HPUX 11.0 looks like it is booting up, Looks like CDE is coming up but it sits for 5 min and then beeps and flashes a console login script just barely long enough to allow logging in.

I am new to HPUX, any recommends for a decent Sys Admin book for HPUX. Geared for newbie's?
 
Hi

The following book is very useful and would teach you everything you need to know to qualify as system administrator.

HP Certified: HP-UX System Administration
by Rafeeq Rehman

Happy learning!

I will look for that book. Any tips or ideas on my boot up problems. Are YOU Sancho?....No you are not. Is Scott Baio Sancho?....NO, he is not!....Only.."I"....am Sancho!
 
You could have a hostname resolution problem or a network issue. CDE is very sensitive to such things and could cause the problem you are seeing. If you can get to a login prompt run the comand "set_parms initial" and answer the questions. You may have to boot to single user mode. DO this by interuppting the boot sequence and answer Y to interact with IPL. At the ISL prompt enter hpux -is. This will bring you to single user mode. At that point run "mount -a" and then run the comand set_parms initial.

Good luck!

Bob
