Using make_tape_recovery and Dual-media Boot
A dual-media boot allows you to boot the target partition using the Ignite-UX server and then recover using
the tape device.
1. If needed, make sure the target virtual partition is in the down state. For example, if it is up, shutdown
the virtual partition:
winona2# shutdown -hy 0
2. Boot the virtual partition to the Ignite-UX server. For example,
• With Ignite-UX versions prior to C.06.xx
winona1# vparboot -p winona2 -I ww.xx.yy.zz,/opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL
• With Ignite-UX versions C.06.xx and later:
winona1# vparboot -p winona2 -I ww.xx.yy.zz,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL
3. When the main Ignite-UX menu is displayed, select Install HP-UX.
4. When the User Interface and Media Options screen is displayed, select Media only installation
from the Source Location Options, and Advanced Installation from User Interface Options,
then select OK.
5. From the Media Installation Selection, select Boot from CD/DVD, Recover from Tape. Note that
there does not need to be a CD or DVD in the server. Select OK.
6. From the Tape Drive Selection menu, select the appropriate tape drive, and press the Enter. Once you
enter the Ignite-UX itool screen, proceed as normal with the recovery.
