Applicable on vPars A.04.xx on PA
Description If you attempt to boot a virtual partition using a FC (fibre channel) tape device
that has been configured using the :TAPE attribute, the target virtual partition may hang.
Symptoms If you attempt to boot a virtual partition using a FC tape device (for example,
# vparboot -p target_vpar -B TAPE (where TAPE is the FC tape device), the target
virtual partition may hang, remaining in the load state indefinitely. Further, the target
virtual partition does not reset when using the vparreset command.
Workaround None. HP recommends that you not attempt to boot a FC tape device.
