First, use ioscan to find the hardware path of your CD drive. The re-boot the machine and interrupt the boot process at the "10 second" message. Enter "sea ipl" at the ISL prompt. Match your CD address to the list returned and enter the "bo" command.

You can generate a bootable tape using Ignite-UX and the make_tape_recovery command.

Hi:

To make a bootable (Ignite) tape containing a complete image of vg00 for cloning or restoration, use:

# make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn
