Errors when installing a golden image using ignite

[kaushikbr]

Hi

We have a rx6600 server image which I'm trying to clone onto a new rx6600 ( recently brought hardware ) server. I have managed to start the ignite installation.. the clonig finishes... and when the server tries to reboot it fails with the following messages

gio: Error configuring root device using EFI hw paths
.
.
PERFMON: Unrecognized Itanium-? processor model [0x0000000000000020, 0x0000000000000001]!

I've seen some threads on the forum, however since the hardware I'm trying to clone is identical I do not understand why the cloning is complaining.

Thanks in advance for all your advice.

Apply this patch - PHKL_36141 s700_800 11.23 Perfmon Itanium(TM) 2 Dual-Core enablement to fix the issue.

Shalom,

Since the systems are essentially identical, I would rule out a hardware difference causing the problem.

The image itself could be bad. Do you have a different image you can test.

Disk configuration could be different. Is their an opportunity to go into the Ignite interface and modify disk configuration?

We had to rebuild it using the UNIX CDs.
For some reason, the firmware on the machine did not like the ignite image.

Thanks for all your valuable suggestions.
