Praveen,

download the software from

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=IGNITEUXB

install with swinstall.

swinstall -s /var/tmp/Ignite-UX_All_C.6.8.152.depot \*

insert a new tape in your tape drive.

Run following command to create a backup of vg00.

# make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Regards,
Robert-Jan

Ignite is your solution for the boot disks (vg00), for data disks you should use another backup software like fbackup.

Make sure you have a good backup *before* you see problems with your disks.

Shalom,

Its important to understand,

Ignite can not get a clean backup of an open active database that is not in backup mode.

It is also extremely difficult to extract one file from an Ignite backup, though this can be done.

The best approach is as stated, to use Ignite on vg00 and use another professional tool on the rest of the system to insure full coverage.

Ignite is not an upgrade in place product. The old version must be removed prior to installation of the new.
