I have a few few questions when making a ignite golden image.

We have an 11i golden image and we are building a new server from this,
1. the /etc/group file is not being copied over
2. should all filesystems in vg00 be created

thanks

Hello,

when you make an ignite tape, if you want to save the all vg00 filesystems you have to add the -A option

for example :
# make_recovery -Ad /dev/rmt/0m

why don't you try

#make_tape_recovery -IAv -a /dev/rmt/

Martin,

A "golden image" implies that you're using make_net_recovery, not make_tape_recovery. However, the option is the same for both: use the "-x inc_entire=vg00" option in order to save all vg00 file systems.

What you are seeing is the difference between essential and non-essential files/filesystems which is a built-in feature of Ignite.

Check the man page for make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery on how to include other filesystems.

"The contents of the system recovery archive will always include all files and directories which are considered essential to bringing up a functional system. This "essential" list is pre-defined by make_net_recovery. "

Look at the "-x include", " -x inc_entire" and "-A" options (depending on which command you run).

Thanks!!

Also

Does ignite automatically mirror vg00 if it was on the server that the image was taken from?

Martin,

No, the mirrors have to be re-established afterwards.
