Re: boot disk

Hi Siva

As I remember Itanium servers reuires a EFI shell to start with.It no more uses the boot method of PA architecture.

For which we reuire EFI shell as slice0
and your physical disk as slice2

We always use slice2 for LVM purposes.

Re: boot disk

This is due to the way EFI works.
It needs a boot shell (c0t6d0s1) and then an area set for HP-UX boot (c0t6d0s2)

PARIC does not need this.
