Re: Ignite backup booting fails

What do you type at step 3?
The SCSI ID only is not sufficient.

If "sea" finds your sequential device, you have to type something like

> bo P3

or the complete hardware path,

e.g.

ISL> bo 0/0/1/0.2.0

(replace the path with the right one)

Hope this helps!

Siva,

At PDC , you have to use the tape device to boot from the Ignite tape.

From the Main Menu> sea
check the Tapedevice path or device path.

Use , > boot path_name (P1 , P2 etc)
or > boot path
ie. exm: > boot 1/4/0/1.3


Cheers,
Raj.

Siva

Search for Boot Path and boot with the Device name such as P0 or P2 like that.
Or else give the full hardware path and try to boot

Thanks
