ignite boot on other server

jerry1 — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 09:24:57 GMT

When I try to ignite a box with an ignite
tape from another server I get a message
about:

boot disk hardware path does not match
boot disk hardware path on tape. Since
use_alternate_boot_drive_path=fales not further
attempt will be done to install.

Or something to that effect. Where is this
flag set for make_tape_recovery? The two
servers are different hardware but I wanted
to see if I can test the ignite tape.

This is really different hardware.
Interrupt the boot process while ignite is starting and try to interact with ignite to adjust the target settings.

I did do an interupte but left me at
a shell prompt and I did not know what to
do from there or how to get back to the
ignite menu.

Try creating the make_tape_recovery image with the -I option ( interactive ). This will bring up the Ignite interactive menus where you can select what and where everything goes.
