Determine Tape Drive EFI Path Using Command Line Interface
To get the tape driver EFI path, run the following command at the EFI shell:
Shell>> tapeboot select Fibre-Channel
Figure 108 Output From tapeboot select
Another way to identify the tape driver's path is to use the EFI Boot Manager menu. The File Explorer
window of the EFI Boot Manager menu displays tape devices connected through Fiber Channel
path.
Figure 109 The File Explorer Window
After identifying the EFI device path, enter the device path to start the boot recovery.

For more information about booting from the tape device, see “Booting Itanium-Based Clients using
the Network” (page 100).
Creating and Using Network Recovery Images
Ignite-UX enables you to create recovery images using the network and store them onto the Ignite-UX
server system or any other specified system. Systems can be recovered across subnets after booting.
See “Making Boot Decisions When Using the Client Console” (page 96) and the sections in
Chapter 10 on "Installation Using bootsys" and "Installation Using the Ignite-UX GUI" for booting
options.
