APPENDIX A

Have the engineer replace the faulty disk, and then boot the system in single user mode. This will ensure that when we are working with the system, there will be a minimum of processes running on the system. To boot into single user mode, boot from the primary boot path, and interact with IPL. At the ISL> prompt, find out what the original boot string was: 


     ISL> lsautofl
This will return a string such as: 

     hpux disc3(52.6.0;0)/stand/vmunix
     or  hpux (;0)/stand/vmunix
The output here is dependent on the type of system you have. Once you have this information simply add the string -is after the hpux, and this will boot the system into single user mode. For our example: 

     ISL> hpux -is (52.6.0;0)/stand/vmunix
