The current version of ignite is C.7.7.98 and March 2008's DVD release is C.7.5.142.
Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: How can I restore a system with the latest version of Ignite without the latest boot DVD?
My March 2008 DVD will NOT coincide for the restore with the ignite tape I'm trying to read from.
ERROR: The version of Ignite-UX on your tape (C.7.7.98) is
different than the
version of Ignite-UX on the media that the client booted
(C.7.5.142).
The versions must match in order to ensure correct behavior.
Continuing th
e installation with a tape version mismatch is likely
to cause
indeterminate prob
lems. Do you want to continue anyway? (y/[n]):

SolutionFrom the Ignite/UX release notes here:
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/infolib.html#release_notes
Page 43 of the PDF file:
Section 2.16 Version C.6.8 (6/2006)
Direct tape boot for Itanium-based systems with firmware support Direct boot of Itanium-based systems from tape devices is introduced in Ignite-UX version C.6.8. Recovery tapes created by Ignite-UX now conform to the UEFI 2.0 boot tape standard as well as the ANSI Standard X 3.27 for tape labels.
The C.6.5 (12/2005) version of Ignite-UX included tape format changes to help enable direct tape boot for Itanium-based systems. However, changes just prior to acceptance of the UEFI 2.0 standard required changes to the Ignite-UX recovery tape format. Therefore, tapes created using Ignite-UX versions C.6.5 through C.6.7 continue to be supported for two-step recovery, but will not work for direct boot from tape devices.
In order to use direct boot from tape, you will need an Itanium-based system or firmware upgrade which supports direct tape boot. Direct tape boot may not be supported with some I/O interfaces. Some Itanium-based systems may never have firmware support for direct tape boot.
Itanium-based system boot tapes include significantly more files than those created for PA-RISC systems. Support for the two-step media recovery process continues. Use of two-step recovery requires use of HP-UX installation or custom boot media containing matching Ignite-UX version boot content.

Different HW = TRUE
Import VGs = FALSE
If this fails I will do a make_tape_recovery with C7.7.98, then try the clone.
Thanks for your help so far!

Cannot say particuarly about the rx4640 never reqd booting an rx4640 using an ignite Tape, but the rx seriers of Servers that is the Itanium ones with the latest FW installed do support the Ignite boots.

Re: How can I restore a system with the latest version of Ignite without the latest boot DVD?
please give a try to the advanced option of ignite OS install and also choose the Interactive Ignite install first.
Why do u choose a different hardware when you are sure that you are cloning using a tape from rx4640 to rx4640
