Hp-ux Ignite

Martin Robinson — Fri, 21 Jun 2002 10:04:25 GMT

Hi, I have a server with two 70G disks in vg00
and I want to ignite only the system directories not the data directories. How do I alter ignite to backpu specific directories

Modify the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/makerec.append, add the file systems you need in the format,...

** User Data **
dir: /mntpta
dir: /mntptb

Run the 'make_recovery -d [Tape]', which will back up the core mount points only, plus whatever is in the makerec.append file.

If you need more info on the command or file format, 'man make_recovery'!

Share and Enjoy! Ian

Try

make_tape_recovery -vI -x inc_entite=vg00 -x exclude=/data -x exclude=/data2 -a /dev/rmt/0mn

I have not tried the above, but for more info do man make_tape_recovery & look at the -x options

OK, having read the question again,...

extract from man make_recovery

Core-OS only:

Core-OS consists of:
/.profile, /.rhosts,
/dev, /etc, /sbin,

/usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
/usr/lib, /usr/obam,
/usr/sam, /usr/share,
/usr/ccs, /usr/conf,
/usr/lbin, /usr/contrib,
/usr/local, /usr/newconfig

/var/adm/sw/security, /var/opt/ignite/local/manifest,
/var/adm/sw/products, /var/adm/sw/save,

/opt/ignite/share/man/man1m.Z/print_manifest.1m,
/opt/upgrade, /opt/dce

Generated by: make_recovery

The standard make_recovery commmand with no options will only backup the files mentioned above.

Why not try it in preview mode (-p) if you are not sure?

make_tape_recovery -A -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/data1 -x exclude=/data2 -I -v -d "make_tape_recovery on 210602" -a /dev/rmt/0mn

you can check the /var/opt/ignite/logs/makerec.log
for the files that are ignited.

you can also use the make_recovery

#make_recovery -A -p -C -v -i -d /dev/rmt/0mn

This above command does a preview before doing an ignite

Now open the file /var/opt/ignite/recovery/makrec.append to remove the unwanted directories going in

After this

#make_recovery -r -C -v -i -d /dev/rmt/0mn
to start the previewed files.

Thanks

Is it possible by editing the makrec.append that I can run ignites on the system with only the selected files. every time. instead of running of using the -p option andediting the makrec.append every time I want to ignite the server.
Also is the makrec.append written over every time an ignite is created.

if you are worried about losing the makerec.append, copy it to makerec.append.keep, then copy this version over the makerec.append before you kick off the make_recovery (perhaps in a script)

Question: Why not just try it and see what it writes?
