Posible OS restore methos for V2600 with 11.00

[likid0]

Hi,

This is a questions for a really uptodate/supported system ;D.

I wanted to know a couple of boot for ignite restore questions for a v2600 with hp-ux 11.00

1. Can you lan boot with a v2600 to hook up with the ignite server?.

these are the lan cards I have on the system:

lan       0  0/0/0     btlan6 CLAIMED     INTERFACE    HP A3738A PCI 10/100Base-TX Ultimate Combo
lan       3  1/1/0     gelan  CLAIMED     INTERFACE    HP A4926A PCI 1000Base-SX Adapter
lan       1  2/0/0     btlan6 CLAIMED     INTERFACE    HP A3738A PCI 10/100Base-TX Ultimate Combo
lan       4  2/3/0     gelan  CLAIMED     INTERFACE    HP A4926A PCI 1000Base-SX Adapter

2. If not, I imagine there is no problem booting from tape, after a make_tape_recovery no?

this is the tape I have:

C1537A

3. can I boot from and old 11.00 DVD(sep2002), and use it to boot, and the point it to a the ignite server and do a network ignite restore?

Thanks!

1) I do not think you can boot over the network from a V class server.  This one post I found seems to support that (though it is dated):

2) Booting from tape is not a problem.

3) I am not sure about this one....give it a try?

The tape looks the way to go.

I can't try with the CD/DVD, I only have 2 of kind in production, that I adopted a couple of months ago, they have uptimes getting close to the 2000 days, and we have to reboot them now. triying to get ready just in case the worst happens..
