I'm a technician who has been called upon to troubleshoot an ancient HP9000 K260, running HP UX 11.11.
After a power sag/crash/restart FSCK gave multiple error/warning messages about logical volumes and groups. I have some modest experience with Unix servers, but not on such an old and complex machine, and I'm in way over my head. Before I even go into the problems I'm asking for help with, is there anyone on these forums who has knowledge of such an old machine? I would be extremely grateful for any help I could get. I suspect file system corruption and perhaps a failed physical drive, but I don't even know how to figure out which drive (of the 14) needs to be replaced! I have replacement drives, and happily data loss is not an issue because there was a complete backup of the OS (Ignite) as well as all data.
Yes, I know this machine should have been retired years ago, but for whatever reason the client is willing to spend the money to keep it going for a couple more years. There seems to be nobody in my entire state who has experience working on this thing, however. Including me.
I'm accessing the server through an equally-ancient terminal, not a PC, so I can't copy and paste output here on the forum. I do have clear .jpg images of the screen output, and can attach those.
I will be extremely grateful for any and all assistance.
