Ignite and boot stop on ISL

[Dmitry_46]

The problem is in following. We've old A400 server and 5 absolute(?) identical new RISC servers rp2405. All of these 6 servers running under HP-UX 11.00 and new servers have version of Ignite B.5.3.1.The aim is clone all information and OS from A400 to new server.
First af all we trying to perform ignite procedure on A400 and implementing this tape for boot purpose on rp2405. A result is kernel not found and prompt to build it manually from unexisting *.h files /include directory.
Then next step. We've prepared Ignite boot tape from one of 5 rp2405 by issuing make_tape_recovery -A. But after successfully booting from it on another rp2405 and following rebooting from primary boot path(that is HDD) ISL prompt is on the screen. Command hpux /stand/vmunix gives no effect. What's wrong and how to fix this problem?
I'd be very appriciated for answer!

What does it mean: auto file?

Kapil you are definitely losing it.

lifcp /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX:AUTO -

should show hpux.

Boot again from the tape. run the recovery shell.

and lifsls -l /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

should show all the files.i.e. AUTO,ISL,HPUX,LABEL, etc.

It looks like IPL is not able to load HPUX i.e. a secondary loader. This resides in LIF area called as boot area on Boot Disk. Probably this LIF area got corrupted.
You need to install this LIF area again.
Check for mkboot / rmboot commands and the way you can use them.
Be sure before you proceed!!!
