Re: Install/Restore from tape

wrote:

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.
