Where I was going was to say it does matter what he's using and he hadn't
provided that. Other comments here were making it sound as if there were
never slow boots on HP equipment and since I've been using HP since about 95 I
know better.
Not sure why that annoyed you - it wasn't meant as an attack but rather to let
him know "it depends".

Yes of course old servers and older versions of OS take longer time to boot
than new once.... But I have never heard that if you attach 5 TB disk to old or
new servers they will take more time booting up then if you attach 500 GB.
Perhaps a couple of minutes but not more... So I don't see where your going
with this, if you want to help the guy I suggest you ask him directly what hw
and sw that are in use and try to help him...
The best thing I can say is to check out the console and syslog for errors and
run some searches on itrc.hp.com. If you don't have access to itrc you can send
the errors to me and I can do some searching for you.
Good luck Randy,

?mne: RE: [Veritas-bu] HP-UX Media Server to boot up....
Of course it depends a lot on the age and class of the equipment. My RP8420
with over 10 TB attached boots much faster than one of my old N Class machines
with only 2 TB attached. Also he says "HP-UX" without mentioning version.
9x? 10x? 11? 11i?. Itanium box or PA-RISC?
Many variables can affect this including how one has zoned storage (assuming a
SAN). I recall one of the original EMC Symmetrix arrays to which we attached
an HP-UX box (probably 10.20) took forever to do initial boot and errored out
for the load because it actually scanned all the disk drives in the array not
just the ones we were going to use on the particular host via the SCSI
connections we'd made.

Hi,
We are a large hpux customer. But I don't have any 10TB systems yet... But
almost!! One of our media server have about 6 TB and I haven't seen any time
delay in boot time after adding more disk to the system. The boot time now is
the same as it was before the 6 TB.
If you look at the console when then server boots, what does it delay/hang on?
I would also recommend you to look at itrc.hp.com (if you have a user). Often
problem with DNS/NIS causes long boot time..

I have a question for the group. I have an HP-UX Media Server with
10TB of disk storage attached to the SAN. When we reboot this system it can
take up to 90 minutes for it to come up. Is anybody out there experiencing
this same issue? If so, Is there anything that can be done to speed this
process up?
Thanks,
