Re: Install/Restore from tape

1) Have you tried unmounting image from virtual media and installing all
from tape?

No. Of course now the LIC is installed. Will it ignore that and re-install
from tape?

2) Are migrating to a new LPAR/System?

Yes.

3) Are you trying to perform tape upgrade ?

Not an upgrade. Just replicating a system in a different data center.


4) Why are you installing LIC from DVD/Virtual Media? Different LIC
requirements on target box? Old VTL perhaps?

Ha, well, I think that was a misinterpretation of the manual piled on top
of a mistake.
I couldn't load from the tape.
So I tried loading the LIC from the Virt Optical.
Then it couldn't find the tape.
Then I played around and found the VIOS fellow had given me the wrong
channel assignment and the tape was discovered on another channel.
Then I proceeded as described above, and the tape was found, but not loaded
from.
