I'm trying to set my primary bootpath to my tape device. I didn't have any problems doing it on a PA-RISC machine (11.23), but I'm getting the following error on my Itanium machine.
//> setboot -p 1/0/0/3/1.1.0
setboot: error accessing boot path - Invalid argument
//>
Any ideas? Something different on Itanium? Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Setboot on Itanium
Can you try alternate?
setboot -a 1/0/0/3/1.1.0
I guess the other question is - why would you want the tape to be primary?

Re: Setboot on Itanium
Thanks for the responses guys. The reason for setting my primary bootpath to tape is so I can test my Ignite tapes, without having to stare at the console, interrupt the boot process (10-second window), and then re-direct to tape. After I'm done testing the tape, then I reboot and change the primary bootpath back to disk.
So setboot will not work for a tape device on IPF? I'm stuck staring at the console?

Re: Setboot on Itanium
So like PA-RISK it's not supported in Itanium.
