about boot my system

[Abdulnasser D. Mashlah]

I have a broblem with boot my system from the hard drive and can not recover from the tap drive
please help me about this broblem.
my model system is hp-ux 10.20

Is there anything on the console that would indicate an error or why it fails to boot?

How far in the boot does it get, have you been able to "boot pri" and interact with the ipl and try to boot off of a previous kernel or other modes?

What about attempting to boot from the support media?

[Anthony Goonetilleke]

I would boot from a support CD and check your disks, you mentioned you couldnt boot from the tape? What errors are you getting?
Is it a make_recovery tape?

Hi,

If U have a tape with Ur Ignite Backup, I'll suggest U to do the followings:

1 - Insert Ur Ignite tape while Ur server is off
2 - Switch on Ur machine and when Ur see the message like ....within 10 seconds.., then press any key.
3 - at prompt issue the command
(sea) to know Ur tape device path, for example 8/16/5.3.0
4 - at prompt issue the command
boot device_path
5 - Interact with IPL (Y,N,Cancel)
Choose N and press enter
Wait until recover is fineshed and the server will boot it self.

Hope it's help U
