Hardware type: HP rx2660 (1.59GHz/6.0MB)
Software type: OpenVMS IA64 V8.4
Hi all, we had a boot disk crash in a rx2660 and replaced by a
maintenance guy. Confirmed that both original disk and new disk are of
type, HP DG036A9BB6
Disk is recognised as DKA800: and I've done an image restore from from a
DVD boot which went without error.
I then used @sys$manager:boot_options from the DVD boot to create a new
entry for that disk to the Boot Options list at position 1. See the
following...
EFI Boot Options list: Timeout = 10 secs.

5 entries found.
(The entry in position 2 is the entry for the original disk.)
The problem is that the system will not boot off that disk and I get the
following sequence...
PKA0.5000-00E0-186C-1142
Load of OpenVMS Recovered Disk PKA0.5000-00E0-186C-1142 failed: Not Found
Loading.: hp I64 OpenVMS PKA0.5000-00E0-1421-C9C2
Load of hp I64 OpenVMS PKA0.5000-00E0-1421-C9C2 failed: Not Found
Loading.: Internal Bootable DVD
My first question is: am I missing anything here? If not, what could be
going wrong. All input gratefully received.
TIA.
