Installation Problems

FOBF — Tue, 12 May 2009 18:27:50 GMT

hello.

I am trying to install hp-ux v2 in a Integrity server but i can see the install.efi from dvd, From EFI shell:
Shell> reconnect -r
Shell> map -r

My problem is all fsx: mapped are from disk, there is not any from DVD unit, and then i can not get in to dvd fsn:
I am sure i am using the right DVD's

Any advice.

Probably an obvious question, but I'll ask - is there no "Boot from Internal DVD" option in the EFI boot menu?

Presuming one of those discs has an OS, if you boot that OS, can you see the DVD from that OS?

He rick.

Thank for your help.

When a boot in Single User Mode i can see the DVD unit, in fact, i can mount the dvd and browser into dvd files, but when i try to boot from dvd into shell efi the dvd unit does not show me like a fsn, the only devices that appears are HD.

Is like a i put the wrong disk or the disk in not a OS disk

seeing is believing ... ;-) Can you post the result of "map -r" and tell what server you have?

The blk device is listed, so the system "see" the device. Strange. It is the correct DVD 1? Try to power cycle the server and check the mapping again.

Re: Installation Problems

FOBF — Wed, 13 May 2009 17:54:19 GMT

Yes, that what i said, is very strange, i tried with another media installation disk, i reboot the server, power off and map again with another disk but the server does see the media.

I have not tried with another DVD unit, but i do not think DVD unit problem becouse the server see the dvd unit from single user and efi shell.

AFAIR there was a possible problem with the drive, but I'm not sure.

How about firmware?

Current version is
