hpux 10.20 cannot mount lvol

[monica03]

Hi:

after a system crushdown, cannot mount /dev/vg00/lvol4 as /opt. The error message says:

vxfs mount: /dev/vg00/lvol4 is corrupted. needs checking

I have done a

fsck -F vxfs -y -o full /dev/vg00/lvol4

and sets state to CLEANED. But the problem persists and I cannot mount it.

Anyone could tell me if it is a hardware problem? I can recover data from backup but i don't know how could i mount again this volume.

Thanks alot.

You could try
`fsck -F vxfs -o full,nolog /dev/vg00/lvol4`
(don't use the -y option) and then
`reboot -n`

As a last resort, newfs the filesystem and restore from backups - But this does sound like a hardware problem :-(

After doing that, now i cannot mount /. So the whole system is unuseful. ¿Any idea? Is there any CD or tool to recover the system?
Thanks

If you're using HP-UX 10.20, you can boot from the Support CD; For HP-UX 11, the Recovery commands are on the Install CD.

Do you have a support contract with HP and/or access to itrc.hp.com? I can give you some references to help you check and recover corruption, but if the disk is failing you will need to replace it and rebuild the OS.
