Can't boot from disks (including cdrom) any longer !

We configured a system with firmware 43.43 in preparation for using vPAR on an rp5470. The system was working fine after the fw upgrade for several days. I created two vpars and moved 1 gig of ram into each, but no other resources. The system was accidentally rebooted and will no longer boot from the internal disks, or the cdrom..however will recognize them when SEArching for them. How do I drop-back to a state where the rp5470 is usable? Is there a magic dip-switch that let's me undo all my sins?

Hello,

I dont think there's a way to go back to your original setting without doing a full backup restoration.

I am afraid you need to use your recovery tape and restore your last backup to return to your original configuration.

If you cannot boot from cdrom perhaps you wont be able to boot from tape either.

Hardware problem?

What happens when you try to boot? Does it make it to the ISL? Are you booting /stand/vmunix or /stand/vpmon?
