Error Reading IPL
The ignite image was created on 9000/800/L1000 and I am attempting the ignite on a 9000/800/N4000. What could be the cause of this failure to ignite?
James.

Solutionthis looks like your backup tape is bad and unable to boot.
Any errors during backup?
Hope this helps!

Re: ignite L1000 to N4000
if you are getting this error when first trying to boot the tape, then it points to the tape not been created succesfully on the L1000
nothing to do with booting onto different hardware.
either that or the tape drive could be at fault?

FYI: The tapedrive is HP StorageWorks DAT40 with DDS3 tape. When I attach the tapedrive to HP9000/RP4440 I see the LIF with SEA IPL:

By the way, the LIF was made on the L1000 and copied to the RP4440 just to put on tape. Not sure what to do next. Maybe try a different tape drive, a DDS3, if I can find one.

make_medialif -f system_cfg -f control_cfg -f archive_cfg -C "2009-08-06,12:20
instl_adm -d -F /var/tmp/my_lif > /var/tmp/cfg
Add these lines to the end of the /var/tmp/cfg file:
control_from_server=FALSE
run_ui=TRUE
env_vars += "INST_ALLOW_WARNINGS=10"
instl_adm -F /var/tmp/my_lif -f /var/tmp/cfg
scp the lif file to the RP4440 with tape drive attached.
dd if=/var/tmp/my_lif of=/dev/rmt/0mn obs=2k
dd if=/mnt/ignite/

Re: ignite L1000 to N4000
I dont understand this bit?
I created another tape - from new ignite and lif
You shouldnt be copying the lif from the server?
Just running the ignite command on vg00 is enough
What was the ignite command you used? after this was done did you then overwrite the tape with some lifcp commands? or ?

Re: ignite L1000 to N4000
so created on L1000 then onto rp4440 and then back onto N4000?
or is the N4000 proping a door open now?
RP4440's are completely different hardware to the L/N class machines

Re: ignite L1000 to N4000
To make a tape I NFS mount the ignite image and follow steps shown to get a lif and ignite image on to tape. Since I am just dd files then it makes no difference what server I use to dd them to tape.
Then I move tape drive to N4000 for ignite. Anyway, tape is working because when it is attached to the RP4440 then the lif file on the tape is bootable, but I don't want to ignite the RP, I want to ignite the N4000. The N4000 does not see the lif file. Same tape drive, same tape, so it must be the N4000 not using the DAT40 correctly.
