This server cannot boot from tape directly, you need to use the 2-step-method, booting from DVD and restore from tape.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Shalom tq,

Some helpful docs:

http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-6611/5992-6611.pdf

http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-2902/5992-2902.pdf

My understanding is that later versions of Ignite can on a system with properly up to date firmware boot directly from tape.

Second doc is more on target.

The rx2600 cannot boot from tape, later models can do with current firmware.



Boot from DVD and select

-> Install HP-UX -> select Advanced Installation -> Recovery tape -> GO!

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
