OS core cd does not working.

[Lito Agreda]

I have a problem loading hp-ux11 on a c3000 viasualize workstation. I need your help of expertise.
I am using the disk labeled install/recovery/update -- core cd. and tried to do a cold install. This are the steps i did:
reboot with os cd / do sea for search bootable drives the do : bo p0
got a hp-ux ignite menu.
after i choose install then it tokk me to another menu:
1- load from media
2- load from media w /network
3 install from hp-ux ignite server.
the #3 was highlited automatically and does not let me change it. If i try to change to 1 then it show me a screen: "os can not be loaded from this cd because is not complete"

Did anybody had this problem?
I tried to run from a hp-ux ignite server bit it ask for the ip address from this server and does not let you pass this step.

Help!!!!

What are the terminal setttings and terminal type being used for this installation.

It would appear you have good media, but if the terminal type and settings are not correct, that could explain the problem with the Ignite Interface.

If you are using a serial console, i think you need em100 terminal type.

On the other hand, the message indicates that either this is the wrong cd or there is a problem with the cd.

I'd try and obtain a replacement and see what happens.

I have never seen this exact behavior.

Please explain. When you do a cold boot is not like the system is going to allocate the minimun requirements to do do a new installation. I installed hp-ux10.20 before and i did not have any problem. How I can change or see what kind of terminal is using. The cd set it came with all the info, and the installation runs ok until i tried to shuffle between the options listed.
thanks for your prompt response.

Hi Lito,
When you do sea at PDC prompt whether you are picking up correct boot device and is it pointing to your CDROM.
I think P0 is pointing towards your ignite server.

Main menu> sea lan install

This will list your ignite server...don't use this one identify the H/w path here.

Main menu> sea ipl
This will list all the devices with valid boot area.
Choose your CDrom device and hope that works.

Hi,

Two questions, could you post your options after you did the SEA command ?

Could you post the partnumber of the cdrom you are using? There are a few known versions of bad install media.

Best regards,
Robert-Jan

Sorry guys I did not reply faster, I was not around.
Bharat you gave that clue. P0 was pointing to the ignite server somehow. I use "boot ide", and finally recognize my cdrom.
With this option it activate the other options referred to the install from media.
thanks.
