How to make Ignite-UX backup/recovery for Veritas filesystems

[Maciej Budzinski]

Hi all,

I have a situation on one of our HP-UX 11.11 servers that the we use the veritas 'encapsulation' for the root and apllication volumes. What is the exact version of Ignite-UX that supports such filesystem on HP-UX and how 'make_tape_recovery' should look like for VxVM to have the bootable tape including UNIX and apllication?
The fs listing is:


/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/rootvol
278528 178735 93570 66% /
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/standvol
304584 51823 222302 19% /stand
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/varvol
4718592 1029295 3458831 23% /var
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/usrvol
2637824 1237288 1313022 49% /usr
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/tmpvol
1691648 3169 1583816 0% /tmp
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/optvol
4227072 2989066 1160688 72% /opt
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/homevol
65536 2307 59339 4% /home
/dev/vx/dsk/sadg/savol
419942400 24172192 392678408 6% /sa_applic

Thanks in advance

What version of VxVM are you using?

[Maciej Budzinski]

This is:

Base-VXVM B.03.50.5 Base VERITAS Volume Manager Bundle 3.5 for HP-UX

Thanks in advance for reply.

Any of the latet Ignite versions support VxVM. The latest is c.7.1. I am not sure how you would include the entire rootdg and sadg in the archive. My best guess would be to try:

make_tape_recovery -I -x inc_entire=rootdg -x inc_entire=sadg

[Maciej Budzinski]

The command proposed is working fine, additionally I added -a /dev/rmt/0mn makein the command like:

make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -I -x inc_entire=rootdg -x inc_entire=sadg

Thanks a lot for this clue
