Restore of Vpar on different subnet

[Claus Hedegaard]

Hi, I made a make_net_recovery image to the ignite server. The Vpar is not on the same subnet. On other servers I normally boot on a Core OS cd/DVD and connect to the ignite server and then restore. The Vpar have a DVD claimed. Can I use the same method ??

i dont think so as you cant boot a vpar from a DVD/CD but an ignite img.

Hi Claus,
You mean your ignite server and the VPAR which you are going to recover from ignite are on different subnet ?
if yes you need to boot the VPAR from boothelper.( boothelper will be in same subnet as your VPAR) .
boot the VPAR..
MON>
Before Ignite C.06.XX
Vparboot â p -I , /opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL
As of version C.06.XX
Vparboot â p -I , /opt/ignite/boot/ Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL

IP Ignite server ( is the ip of boothelper )
once your system comes up you may select the archive location and provide original ignite server ip .

Hi,
One correction above command you can run from other running VPAR

Hi Claus,
Other option which you can try is get the vlan changed of your VPAR temporality ( you can directly boot the system from ignite server ) .
Also you will also need one free ip address in ignite server subnet to restore the system .

Once your system comes up get the vlan changed and ip address changed .
