can not boot from the ignite tape on RX2660

[Hanry Zhou]

I created a recovery tape on RX2660, and trying to ignite up another RX2660 box, but it won't let me boot off from the ignite tape and got the following message:
HPUX> boot 0/2/1/0.2.0
Could not open file 0/2/1/0.2.0 to check for a directory
Could not open 0/2/1/0.2.0


the HW path is for the tape drive.
the command I used for creating the tape:
make_tape_recovery -I -a /dev/rmt/0mn -x inc_entire=vg00

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Shalom,

There is an EFI menu.

You need to set up the system to boot from tape before it can.

This syntax does not work.

Just select "boot from file" and select the tape drive.

Thanks for the inputs. I used the way SEP suggested and got that problems resolved.

HOwever, I am running into another problem.

it complains about /dev/rdsk/c4t7d0, but I don't believe this disk ever existed on either source or target system. Further, I just re-run the igniate installation again, in the end of the procedure, there is one disk called "HP_DISK_SUBSYSTEM". I have no idea what the disk is. Please see the attachment.

I believe, I should remove this disk but how, I went through ignite screens, but there is no such disk.

[Torsten.]

The HP_DISK_SUBSYSTEM and OPEN-V volumes all belong to an XP disk subsystem.

In an interactive session you should select the target disk for the installation.

Dear,

You just connect tape to the server and type

make_tape_recovery -Av

and for any modification that you can do during installation.
pls check it
