ignite restore

chad_c — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 12:28:31 GMT

Hi. We successfully made an image of our NNM server using make_net_recovery. We would like to restore the server with the archive created. However, we do not want to restore it across the network. We ftp'd the archive file (2006-05-31,10:53) to the NNM server to be restored. Is it possible to restore the system with the restore file (2006-05-31,10:53) being housed on the local machine? If so what is the command?

Regards.

Hi,

This is not possible.
The archive file must be located on another server.

thanks for the information.

with it being on another server, what would the command be to do the restore?

we currently have it stored on our ovo managment server /arc/sys_backups/ directory

The system cannot be source and target at the same time. You can create a tape or DVD to use it locally.

Hi. Thanks for the response. Do you know what the command would be if we burned the image onto a CD or DVD and inserted the DVD into the server we want to restore?

Regards,
Chad

See this document (or even better http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX ) for how to create a CD/DVD from a stored image.
