Install OS with Ignite/UX recovery tape

[aaaA_4]

Hi,

I have made my Ignite/UX recovery tape (make_tape_recovery) on my HP-UX 11i server, model rp2470. Am I able to use this tape to install OS (11i) on to my new box, model rp3410?

Any help appreciated.

Sorry, but this is unlikely to work. The 2470 used the PA-8700 chip, while the 3410 uses the PA-8900 chip. With such marked differences in architecture, the chances of this succeeding are very slim indeed.

I should add that the only chance I see of this working would be if the 2470 was loaded up with the latest HWE patch bundle before the recovery tape was made - and I still have doubts even then.

Hi,

It works fine if you use the latest version of Ignite to create the ignite tape and I you install the latetst HWE patch bundle before you create the tape

You can only restore an rp3410 via the onboard SCSI controller with 68p connection
