Re: rp2470 ignite restore problem
Hi,
Newer firmware on the production server is not an option. It is business critical server so I can not play so much with it.
Is it maybe possible to start recovery shell to try to rebuild kernel or critical files?
If so, I will need help to do this, because as I mentioned I already tried but couldn't find helpful manual for this.

Re: rp2470 ignite restore problem
What is the firmware of the other server? Well, this "new" version is from 2006 - so there is no risk!
There are many boot related fixes between your version and the current version.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Not even on the broken server, the one you are trying to restore?

Re: rp2470 ignite restore problem
Hello,
On the second server ofcourse I can do firmware upgrade because it is not usable at this moment. But I think it has newer fw version. From boot log I could see this: Firmware Version 42.19.

Re: rp2470 ignite restore problem
Hi Torsten,
fw version of production server is: Firmware Version 43.50
and fw version of backup server is: Firmware Version 42.19
so probably my production server has newer firmware. I can do fw upgrade on backup. I will see if I can do it from this point from gsp or from isl and come back then.

Thank you for your reply.
Can you be more specific when you mention: "go in to the "Basic" tab, and under "Additional", select "cloning to different HW?" (Set it to true). "
Where I can find this basic and additional tabs? Will I have that option after when using "I" option when creating the archive tape?
Br,
Yes, after you create the archive with the -I option, and then when you boot from the tape, you will see the Menu with all the tabs I was referring to.

Re: rp2470 ignite restore problem
Henry,
thank you for your reply.
I will try first fw upgrade because there is fw difference between those two servers and after that try restore with -I flag.
After that I will send you feedback.
Best regards,

Re: rp2470 ignite restore problem
Dear All
I did fw upgrade so now both servers have fw version 43.50. After this I tried recovery but again cant boot the system.
Next I did archive tape with -I flag as Henry suggested, and tried recovery with it, again no good.
I cannot find any error or warnings on ignite log, but cannot boot hpux. I am only on ISL> prompt.
However on gsp log I noticed this:
************* SYSTEM ALERT **************
SYSTEM NAME: mcnfwim1
DATE: 07/27/2003 TIME: 10:18:49
ALERT LEVEL: 6 = Boot possible, pending failure - action required
REASON FOR ALERT
SOURCE: 8 = I/O
SOURCE DETAIL: 6 = disk SOURCE ID: 0
PROBLEM DETAIL: 0 = no problem detail
LEDs: RUN ATTENTION FAULT REMOTE POWER
FLASH OFF ON ON ON
LED State: Boot Failed. Running non-OS code.
Check Chassis and Console Logs for error messages.
0x00000060860010B0 00000000 00000000 - type 0 = Data Field Unused
0x58000860860010B0 00006706 1B0A1231 - type 11 = Timestamp 07/27/2003 10:18:49
Can this be the root of a problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Br,
