Re: Using tape as alternate installation device, not finding any busses.

Since you are doing the way you are, I 'ASS-U_ME' there is No HMC. If there
is all you need to do is set the IOA that has the tape attached as the
Alternate IPL Device.

If no HMC, then until LIC is installed, it won't see any buses other than
the CEC if I remember correctly..

I am testing a bare metal restore.
I have a DVD allocated as the alternate IPL Device.
I successfully booted in D-Manual from this DVD.
Now I am trying to pick an alternate installation device to actually
restore the LIC from.
However, no busses show up.
If I exit "3. Define alternate installation device"
and go into "2. Work with Dedicated Service Tools (DST)", 4. Start a
service tool, 2. Hardware service manager , 1. System bus resources ,
