Hi Admin

I was trying to ignite vpars on itanium platform. After selecting lan. its kicking out an error and comming back to the mon promt.

"Par "hpux80d2" failed to load the kernel due to: non-bootable boot media; incorrect vPars software installed; or incorrect boot media EFI path in vPars database"

Please some give me solution about the issue.

Hi Jolly,

What command you are using for Ignite vPar?

To create the bootable recovery tape, enter:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -Av -C -d /dev/rmt/0m

where: v is for verbose mode and A specifies the entire root disk or volume group. Also, more than one volume group can be specified with the -x option. The -d option lets you specify the tape drive, e.g. -d /dev/rmt/3mn. â C will create a check_recovery log file.

Regards,

hi Jolly,

could I get information about your ignite server and your client?

please check software ignite at your ignite server.

if your ignite server is PA RISC and your Ignite client is Itanium, you must install Ignite for Itanium at your ignite server.

Please activate the logging for bootps and instl_bootps. Try to restore again. and check at syslog at ignite server. what is the error?

Thanks
Freddy

The issue have been resolved. In the bootptab variable configured worngly It was very had to find out. dhcptools command never give any errors. before doing the ignite, from the ignite server user bootpquery user this command this will check the communication and syntax of bootptab config for the particular client. befor doing bootpquery command, updatet the bootptab file last line of the particular client eg:

:\
tc=ignite-defaults:\
ha=0x001560DEB9B2:\
ip=192.168.1.83:\
sm=255.255.255.0:\
gw=192.168.1.83:\
ba

thanks for giving input to resolve my issue.
