/opt/ignite/data/Rel_release/config,

where release is the operating system release on the client you intend to recover. For example:

/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/config

would be added for a client with the HP-UX 11.11 operating system. This new configuration file entry should be the first entry in the clause you are modifying.

When you use the Ignite-UX GUI during recovery, select the File System type you want to use on the Basic tab.

Tape Recovery With No Tape Boot Support — Two-Step Media Recovery

You can use the Ignite-UX tape recovery tool to recover your system even if there is no tape boot support on the system.

Certain configurations, which are on most HP Integrity servers, allow you to directly boot a recovery tape. For information about what configurations and minimum firmware revisions support native tape boot on HP Integrity servers, refer to the Ignite-UX Installation Booting white paper, available at http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux-docs.

IMPORTANT: HP recommends you boot from the Operating Environment (OE) media that corresponds to the version of Ignite-UX you used to create your recovery tape. HP supports only matched OE media and recovery tape version combinations.

Using unmatched versions might produce unpredictable results, including: missing files, error messages, system hangs, and panics.

If you have misplaced the matching OE, or are using an Ignite-UX version with no matching OE, you can make your own minimal bootable CD/DVD to support two-step media recovery. See “Creating a Boot CD/DVD or an Installation DVD” (page 182), or see the section How do I create the CD equivalent of a tape created by make_boot_tape? in the Ignite-UX Custom Configuration Files document found on http://www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html#Ignite-UX.

1.Insert the HP-UX OE media or the bootable custom media into the appropriate drive, and boot from it. Either media must match the HP-UX version used when creating the recovery tape.

The User Interface and Media Options screen appears. Select Media only installation and then OK.
