unable install rp7420

[Fransisco Aris]

i have to hardening this server and reinstall the OS (hpux). the problem is, there is no visibility of the CDROM when I do "SEA" command, but CDROM recognize at OS, via "ioscan -nfCdisk". then how do I install the OS????

If you have the working hp-ux server somewhere near, you can temporary install an Ignite-UX there, and install hp-ux via network.

Did you try "sea all" from BCH prompt?

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

If you do a "sea" only, the master cell will be searched only.
Devices on the other cell will NOT be found.

With "sea all" all cells will be searched.






Main Menu: Enter command or menu > he sea
