make_recovery question

Chris Fadrowski — Thu, 18 Apr 2002 17:02:16 GMT

I need to do a make_recovery to put my OS on different disks. Currently the OS is on one 4 gig drive mirrored to another which doesn't allow for much space. I have 2 9 gig drives that i want to recover too. Basically just need confirmation...

do i just start the make_recovery process and do an ADVANCED INSTALLATION? Instead of a guided install? That should provide me with a section that i could direct the OS (root/boot) too. I am correct? Or is there a better way. ?

Yes,
It will let you modify your logical volume size etc...

Good luck

Hi Chris:

Select the Advanced Installation tab. You can then select your target disk, change filesystem sizes, etc. etc. This is most useful in remote Disaster/Recovery setups.

Hi,

For starters use the latest ignite version !
Download here !

Use this command to make the tape:

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

Boot from tape and use the interactive install option, this will let you choose to what disk you want to recover.

Regards,
C.

You are right, make sure you use switch "-i" with make_recovery or "-I" with make_tape_recovery.
