Problem using a tape recovery : HIDE_BOOT_DISK ?

ballans — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 03:22:29 GMT

Hello everybody,
I upgrade my system HP-UXi from v1 to v2.
After this upgrade (all is working pretty well), I created a boot tape and a backup of my all system (RAID 0) by the following command :
# make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -v -I

But now, when I test a recover from the tape, there is an error message concerning the hard drive.

On the recovery menu, the hard drive are been well detected :
Hardware Summary: System Model: 9000/800/rp3440
+---------------------+----------------+-------------------+ [ Scan Again ]
| Disks: 2 (444.1GB) | Floppies: 0 | LAN cards: 1 |
| CD/DVDs: 1 | Tapes: 1 | Memory: 4094Mb |
| Graphics Ports: 0 | IO Buses: 5 | CPUs: 2 | [ H/W Details ]
+---------------------+----------------+-------------------+

but, when I select [ install HP-UX ], I have an error message that there is no hard drive !!?? and the recovery could not process.
This is the error message :

***********************************************
* Checking configuration for consistency...
ERROR: The disk at: 0/4/1/0/4/0.0.0 (HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME) was specified to be
configured but is currently prevented from being configured by the
HIDE_BOOT_DISK option and/or the _hp_hide_other_disks config file
variable.
ERROR: The disk at: 0/4/1/0/4/0.0.1 (HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME) was specified to be
configured but is currently prevented from being configured by the
HIDE_BOOT_DISK option and/or the _hp_hide_other_disks config file
variable.

Because of the error(s) above, the user-interface must be
used to correct them... Non-interactive install canceled.
***********************************************

Before to upgrade to HP-UXiv2, I make the same process and it works good.

Have you got an idea ?
Does it means that there is a problem on the backup tape or on the properties of the disk on the v2 system ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Shalom Herve,

Yet another reason never to use upgrade-ux.

I recommend swremove ignite and then install the current version from http://software.hp.com

Thanks for the advice.
As the server is not yet in production, I've completely re-install the system with the original DVD supports and now it works perfectly !
