If your system will not boot at the login prompt, or the system
boots but critical files are corrupt, adversely affecting system
performance, it may be useful to restore system elements from the
HP-UX Install/Update/ Recovery media. If there are little or no
user applications or data on the system, the best recovery method
is usually to cold-install the OS, as explained in Chapter 5 “Cold Installing HP-UX
11i v1”. This will erase all data and software
on the root disk.
If you wish try to preserve user data or applications on the
root disk, however, procedures are available to rebuild the OS.
These “expert recovery” procedures are explained
in Chapter 11 of the Ignite-UX Administration Guide.
This guide is available on the HP-UX Instant Information CD (which
you can view via an HP-UX or Windows/NT system), and also on this
web page:
