Ignite UX Errors - Trying to use Make_Net_Recovery to Clone Systems

[S-un-B-ix-S]

I am trying to use Make_Net_Recovery to Clone one RX8640 to another. The machines are nearly identical hardware-wise.

I took a make_net_recovery of serverA.

Using instructions I found on HP's site, I entered the Ignite GUI, added the target server (serverb) as a "new client".

I then went into /var/opt/ignite/clients/servera

and copied the CINDEX and recovery directory into /var/opt/ignite/clients/serverb.

I also exported the source of our archives, and shared it so both servera and serverb had write access to it.

When I tried to ignite, I get the following error:

* Processing the archive source (Recovery Archive).

ERROR: Cannot load OS archive(s) (Recovery Archive)

The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like
to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]): y

Our archives are all stored under:

/u001/images/

Can anyone please help?

TIA.

Hi,

Put the archive folders "u001/images/
" in /etc/exports and run exportfs -a to export them then try again.

The Ignite Admin Guide provides very specific steps to use when copying the files on the server and checking the final NFS setup. These steps should prevent this permissions problem.

See http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5992-1959/ch12s02.html#bghcbdia

'find CINDEX recovery | cpio -pdvma ../target_client'

Other than configuring your /etc/exports correctly, remember to chown bin:bin on any and all files created under /var/opt/ignite/clients and /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives

This will save you from the next error you will get during the install after the NFS mount is fixed.
