We have a new server we are setting up. I will be testing the ignite procedures as part of our disaster recovery plan. The rx3600 has a direct attached Ultrium-3 drive. I have made a few ignite tapes, and now I am preparing for the recovery. My question: the notes I am looking at say to "Insert the HP-UX installation media disk 1 into the CD/DVD-ROM drive." Do I really need to do this, given the fact we have a direct attached tape drive? I would presume all I need to do is to boot from the previously created ignite tape...but I want to make 100% sure since we rarely do this procedure.
Thanks...colin
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Claify Ignite on rx3600 running HPUX 11.31
You *should* be OK, as LTO (Ultrium) is a bootable media. Your instructions may be for DLT tape media, which is not bootable; which is why those systems usually came with a DDS option, so that you could use yer LTO fer storage and yer DDS fer bootin'. And, yes, near the end of the day, I become a southerner, once again... :-)
Anways, I'm just guessing you're using DLT instructions, your LTO should work fine from what I've read about which media types are bootable.

Yes, the other time I did this was on our RP5470, running 11.11, with a direct attached Ultrium-1 drive. Now, with our rx3600 and our direct attached Ultrium-3 drive...I'm thinking we should be fine (hopefully)!
Thanks...colin

SolutionNative tape boot for Itanium servers is supported with and after Ignite C.6.8 *if* your SCSI firmware supports it. See the firmware requirements table in:

Re: Claify Ignite on rx3600 running HPUX 11.31
Thanks for that very informative link. Our brand new rx3600 is on Ignite C.7.10.472. I see from the table in that document that we are ok to boot from the tape. Points assigned.
Thanks...colin
