how to recover a vPar from Ignite backup

[Wallace Liu]

Hi vPar and Ignite gurus,

I need your help to resolve recovery issue in below scenario:
--vPar(PA-RISC and Itanium) used make_net_recovery command to create backup.
--the vPar can not boot up due to disk failure after the backup taken successfully

What is the procedure to recover from the Ignite backup stored in the server?

Thanks

Wallace

Hi,

You just need to boot the failed vpar and point the boot kernel to your Ignite-UX Server,

for PA-RISC:
# vparboot -p -I xx.xx.xx.xx,/opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL


I don't know what version of vpar you used, but check this documentation, chapter 10, "network and tape recovery":

Hi:

Take care because in the latests versions of ignite you can't define a route to the server, then a good idea is to use a cross ethernet between the lan of your ignite server and one IO of the vpar, then use vparload -p partitionname -I

ruben.
