Hi,

we have ignite server, and there are 60 servers connected to it. currently we are backing up manually doing make net recovery command. how can automate the command inside cron job or scriptes to take the make_net_recovery for the 60 servers evry two weeks.

Thank you.

Some more information would be helpfull but let's start. Without a central job scheduling you will have to use cron or similar, so best way would be building a wrapper script and distribute this to all server in the same place.

Configure your server, excludes, logging, etc. in that wrapper script and add it to cron distributing the load evenly to all systems, 60 systems, max 14 days, = 5 jobs per day - so it would like

System 1:

0 1 1,15 * * /RECOVERY/make_ignite_recovery

System 2:

0 5 1,15 * * /RECOVERY/make_ignite_recovery

System 3:

0 9 1,15 * * /RECOVERY/make_ignite_recovery

System 4:

0 13 1,15 * * /RECOVERY/make_ignite_recovery

System 5:

0 17 1,15 * * /RECOVERY/make_ignite_recovery

Job 6, so next day

System 1:

0 1 2,16 * * /RECOVERY/make_ignite_recovery

...

hth,

Stephan

The entries in the crontab file are as follows:

minute         The minute of the hour, 0-59
hour           The hour of the day, 0-23
monthday       The day of the month, 1-31
month          The month of the year, 1-12
weekday        The day of the week, 0-6, 0=Sunday
command to run

This is derived from the crontab man page.

To install the OS, have a read through the Ignite manual.
