The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like
to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]):

This is not a golden image right?
I assume you did a make_network_recovery and now you want to install this on your new vPar.

You should interact with the installer while restoring and adjust the target disk settings.

Hi , yes i interactive with it, using ADVANCED, then i selected root disk the disk i really want use, and modify FS to delete the files that aren't in vg00, anyway i recive the message...

The new disk looks like it is on a fiber channel possibly a SAN based drive. You need to check if is it supported as a boot device by the server/OS level?

Hy, if you are shore you are choosing the right root disk in the advance settings.

and because of this error:
Could not clear boot block on disk

I would suggest you have a scsi reservation problem on that disk.has the disk been used on an aix or true64 machine?

i would try with another disk(if you can)

[Ruben Tapia_2]

No it doesn't used before, new disks assignes form XP12000 array, i could disscard incompatibity, because in the same npar we got some other vpars cloned with this process.

Check on the XP side again if the drive is not fully allocated to the server yet. It appears as if it is write-protected.

Ignite certainly sees it since it substitutes the original disk with this one.

Other than that see if you can access this disk normally from another vpar/server and pvcreate it etc.
