Strange. Here was the first time with the "set -x" . Now, I did see 2 things that I corrected:
1) tqsw volume did not exist in Veritas but had an entry in /etc/vfstab -- Commented out 2) swapvol did not have a dump device configured -- Corrected I booted cleanly after fixing the above 2. I guess I do not understand what these 2 would have to do with starting var volume. Doesn't seem right. I see a return code of zero for the vxrecover -n -s . Something to do with swapvol. ----------- startvols= swapvol rootvol var opt crash sar Tivoli tqdata tqsw vol01 vol02 + [ -n ] + read dev rdev mpoint fstype more isdumpdev= + expr /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/optsave : /dev/vx/dsk/[^/]*/\(.*\) vol=optsave startvols= swapvol rootvol var opt crash sar Tivoli tqdata tqsw vol01 vol02 optsave + [ -n ] + read dev rdev mpoint fstype more + exec + [ -n swapvol ] + [ ! -x /usr/sbin/dumpadm ] + [ -n swapvol rootvol var opt crash sar Tivoli tqdata tqsw vol01 vol02 optsave ] + ugettxt -s INFO starting special volumes (${startvols} )... vxvmshm:3247 startvols= swapvol rootvol var opt crash sar Tivoli tqdata tqsw vol01 vol02 optsave VxVM INFO V-5-2-3247 starting special volumes ( swapvol rootvol var opt crash sar Tivoli tqdata tqsw vol01 vol02 optsave )... + vxrecover -n -s swapvol rootvol var opt crash sar Tivoli tqdata tqsw vol01 vol02 optsave VxVM vxrecover ERROR V-5-1-929 Record tqsw: Not in any disk group + ugettxt -s WARNING Some special volumes could not be started vxvmshm:3236 VxVM WARNING V-5-2-3236 Some special volumes could not be started + exit 0 /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/swapvol: No such device or address The /var file system (/dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/var) is being checked.

Looks like /etc/rcS.d/S35vxvm-startup1 would normally be responsible for starting /var if it's a separate filesystem. Double check that the /etc/vfstab looks correct. You might stick a 'set -x' early in the startup file to at least get output printed to see what it's doing. It should fire off a vxrecover -n -s var and log a message if that command fails. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
