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 185), 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.
