vx problem: Can't locate boot device

[aacheung]

printenv boot-device vx-rootdisk
ok boot vx-rootdisk [or vx-rootmirror]
get Can't locate boot device

ok boot disk [can load from c3t0d0]

vxdisk shows everything's good, rootdisk and rootmirror is online, so no disk corrupted problem, but why system can't locate the boot device

# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c1t0d0s2 sliced rootdisk rootdg online
c1t1d0s2 sliced appdg01 appdg online
c1t2d0s2 sliced appdg02 appdg online
c2t0d0s2 sliced rootmirror rootdg online
c2t1d0s2 sliced appdg03 appdg online
c2t2d0s2 sliced appdg04 appdg online
c3t0d0s2 sliced disk01 rootdg online
c3t1d0s2 sliced disk02 rootdg online

What model system is this?

Are you booting internal drives? Are they SCSI or Fibre?

If at the ok prompt;

post output from devalias command?

post output from;

printenv boot-device
printenv nvramrc

If up and running run commands;

prtconf -vp | grep nvramrc

prtconf -vp | grep vx-rootdisk

prtconf -vp | grep vx-rootmirror

Also what target is your boot drive (c#t#d#)?

thanks

Looks like your device alias is not setup correctly.

Do a devalias at the ok prompt to check.

I should have noticed by your vxdisk list what your boot targets were. DOO!

Anyways; it looks like your system is trying to boot c3t0d0, should be pointing to c1t0d0 and c2t0d0. As Dandan123 says your device aliases are pointing to the incorrect drives. That is also why I was requesting outputs of the commands in my first post. I also believe your aliases are setup incorrectly and you will need to fix them. So provide the outputs and we can help you out if you have not already figured it out.

Thanks
