So your ignite tape backup is not booting? To create an ignite recovery use the following command:

make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00

This will include all of the data in the root VG and will create a LIF on the tape. You can then boot from the tape and the data will be recovered automatically.

If you mean your boot disk has a bad lif area, you can interact with the archive tape (you have a few seconds to interrupt the auto-restore). You should then have a screen similar to an HP-UX install screen. Select the recovery options and you should have a menu for a bunch of recovery options. LIF recovery is one of them.
