non-attended or non-interactive ignite restoration

[Vivek_Pendse]

Hi,

I have taken a n/w ignite backup of a client. And, want to restore in non-interactive mode.
That is, i will just boot the system from lanboot & the restoration should happen automatically.

Thanks in advance.

Shalom Vivek,

This is possible, it requires set up and some testing to make it work right.

The setup and testing will be different for PA-RISC based systems as opposed to Itanium based systems.

Hi SEP,

Thanks for the reply.

But, this is not, what I am looking for.
I have backup in hand & I want to restore it on client without any inputs i.e. in unattended mode.

Thanks,
Vivek

Without knowing what you have at hand, it's difficult to help you.

For instance, do you use an Ignite server ? this can certainly help you with lanboots followed by a silent restore.
Is you server PA-RISC or Itanium ?
Are uou going to restore to the same type of hardware ?

All important questions if you want to ignite-restore.

If this backup was taken with the command line option -i (for interactive) then the install process will stop at the menu and wait for choices to be made. You need to post the command line that you used to run make_net_recovery.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.

Both server & client are IA systems.

I took backup with command:
# make_net_recovery -s -A

Now, I want to restore this backup in non-interactive mode.

What the changes i need to be done ?

Thanks,
Vivek
