Peter,
It seems that the Disk you are trying to boot from is not a boot disk.

if i understand correctly, you are trying to boot from the alt path ?
if so, does the primary path works ?

Is the alt disk mirrored to the primary one ?

if you are at the BCH, run 'sea ipl' to check your disks.

Hi,

What happens when you acknowledge the alert? Is this a new server? Do you have an ignite recovery tape?
