Support Media

[Dee_3]

I need to create a support tape from the support cd that HP provides. (HP-UX D,E,F,G & L class servers on 11.0) Tried dd and could not boot off the tape. Tried to ignite an LIF but could not get to the menu that my users are used to seeing. Doing a make_recovery tape is not the answer I am looking for...we do this but also need the support tape... Any ideas?

the way it works with harddisks and dd:

dd if=/usr/lib/uxbootlf of=/dev/rmt/0mn
bs=2k # no rewind
dd if=/dev/rdsk/ of=/dev/rmt/0m
bs=64k

look for the uxbootlf file on your cd.
might then also work for cd

good luck
