Tape device support
Starting with version C.6.8 recovery and custom boot tapes created with Ignite-UX may be used
for direct tape boot with Hewlett-Packard Itanium-based systems.
In order to use direct boot from tape, you will need an Itanium-based system or firmware upgrade
which supports direct tape boot. Direct tape boot may not be supported with some I/O interfaces.
Some Itanium-based systems may never have firmware support for direct tape boot.
Support for the two-step media recovery process continues. Use of the two-step media recovery
process requires use of HP-UX installation or custom boot media containing matching Ignite-UX
version boot content. For more information on this process, see the section on tape recovery with
no tape boot support in the Ignite-UX Administration Guide at: http://www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux.
