Ignite GUI

placitasmd — Sat, 06 Dec 2003 09:56:08 GMT

When running ignite from the GUI (not using an ignite server but local via the make_tape_recvoery -i commnad) where can I find the actual commnad that is being used to make the tape? I want ot be able to script this process, and have been unable to locate the file that contains the actual command string.

Do you mean that you want to know what were exactly the options used in the command string when the tape was created?
In example: make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -x inc_entire=vg00 ...?

If memory serves me correctly, I think you can find several log files in /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest where you can find info of your last executions. At least in my old version of Ignite ...
But I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for.

Kind regards,

Mark,

the actual command is make_tape_recovery. For all the options associated with it, you can either look at the man page or at the Ignite book. Mostly, you may want to use the -x inc_entire option but other than that I don't think you'll need much more than that.

What I am looking for is the exact command that was used when I kicked off my make_tape_recovery when using the GUI interface of make_tape_recovery -i.

Hi,

I've just tried a "make_tape_recovery -i" and I'm unable to find the exact command in any log file. I only can think that looking at the log files in "/var/opt/ignite/recovery" you could be able to figure out what options ( from "man make_tape_recovery" ) you need to use in the command line.
Or if you reply with the things that you want to include/exclude, I'm sure somebody here will suggest to you what is the correct command you can use in your script.
Only an idea.

Kind regards,
Zigor
