Re: Initialization question

Could you post the results of following command: ls -l /INFXDATA/ol_chunk Additionally: ROOTSIZE and ROOTPATH from ONCONFIG and the amount of free space on the filesystem when ol_chunk is located (of course if it not a link to a raw device file). And what do you mean by remote install ? Are you just logging in to HP-UX using telnet ? In this case it doesn't matter whether it's a 'remote' or local install - in fact it is local !
