HP-UX 11i v3 Read Before Installing or Updating, February 2007 (Initial Release)
Mapping Between Device Special Files and Devices
Cannot be Restored During Recovery
During recovery on a system that has more than seven
disk and tape devices, Ignite-UX may not successfully
remap the device special file names so that they refer to
the original devices. Because of this problem, the
make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery
commands on HP-UX 11i v3 print a WARNING message
and prompt the user to confirm that they wish to continue.
When scripts encounter this prompt, they may hang or fail
depending on how the script handles stdin.
HP will not support Ignite-UX version C.7.0, even for cold
installing HP-UX, after September 2007.
What To Do
HP recommends that you upgrade to Ignite-UX version
C.7.1.x or later to fix this problem. After installing
Ignite-UX version C.7.1.x, recreate your tape recovery
archive. For network recovery, you can update your Ignite
server to Ignite-UX version C.7.1.x and you do not need to
recreate the recovery archive.
