Re: D-IPL from Tape on Power6 520

[Rolf Schillinger <rolf.schillinger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jack, Rob, DrFranken, thanks for input :)
I can see what I did wrong now I think:
- D-IPLd from the correct CD
- flagged the tape as alternative boot device
- went back to the very menu I hit 3 in and did an install LIC
I shouldn't have done the last step, right? Since the box doesn't boot
anymore :) I should have D-IPLd again without a CD in the optical
drive, right?
(As you may easily spot I'm a pc unix guy who has a bios or uefi ;) )
Thanks, br, Rolf
