What to do if the boot process fails<br />

What to do if the<br />

boot process fails<br />

F-16 Basic Troubleshooting<br />

Note: You may need to modify these values if you installed new hardware.<br />

Otherwise, it is recommended that you use either the default values or whatever<br />

values that were set when the system backup was performed.<br />

11. Insert the DAT and wait for the tape to reach its load-point. Press Enter<br />

to initiate the restore process. The restore process will repartition the<br />

drives and reload the system files from the tape.<br />

12. When the restore is finished, the following message will appear: File<br />

restore complete.<br />

13. Remove the DAT and CD-ROM from their drives.<br />

14. Press Enter to reboot the system to the Administrative kernel.<br />

15. If needed, restore any incremental backups. See “Performing an<br />

incremental restore via the do.restore script” on page F-11 for<br />

information.<br />

16. Perform a new full system (level 0) backup.<br />

Important: Do this even if you have not restored any old incremental backups.<br />

Performing a new level 0 backup might seem unnecessary at this point, but it must be<br />

done in order for future incremental backups to remain in sync with the new file<br />

structure. Problems are likely to occur if you perform a new incremental backup at<br />

some later date and then try to restore the system without having first performed a<br />

full system backup.<br />

17. When the full system backup is complete, enter the following<br />

command to reboot to the Operational kernel:<br />

shutdown -r now<br />

Boot failure may be caused by the fsck command. This command is<br />

run as part <strong>of</strong> the system boot process. If this command fails, the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> will not boot properly. If the boot process fails, you<br />

will need to attach a keyboard and monitor and repower the system.<br />

If you see a # prompt (indicating that the fsck command failed), type<br />

the following at the # prompt to fix any disk problems:<br />

ind Kern /sbin/fsck -p<br />

Then restart the system by entering shutdown -r now at the<br />

command prompt.
