ignite tape using make_net_recovery

sheevm — Thu, 01 Aug 2002 19:08:35 GMT

Hi!

We have one Lclass server does not have a tape drive. I need to install quite a few patches. Before that I thought of making an ignite tape into another LCLASS SERVER using make_net_recovery.

This is the output I received. when I check ps -ef | grep ignite it is not consuming any CPU time and looks like it is hanging. This is the second time. Please see the command I used and the output

Thanks

Command I used:

make_net_recovery -s stp_back -a /omniback/stpuxdr -x inc_entire-vg00
------------------------------
Output:

* Creating NFS mount directories for configuration files.

This is where it sits.

Chris:

I am waiting since one hour. Can you plaese take a look at the command I executed.

-a option should work right? I created this directory where I had enough space.

Thanks

The -a option is to specify tape drive, so no it is not correct. From the man pages on make_tape_recovery:

-s Ignite-UX_server
Specifies the hostname of the Ignite-UX server. The
configuration files, defaults and contents files for the
client system will be written to the Ignite-UX server in
/var/opt/ignite/clients/0x{LLA}/recovery. The
make_tape_recovery tool will NFS mount the per-client
directory to access this information.

Take out the -a and see what happens.

Whoa!!!! put on the brakes!!

Sorry about the last post; No coffee yet.

The -a option you have used is not complete. The syntax is -a :archive_dir.

So if stp_back is your archive server, it would be:

# make_net_recovery -s stp_back -a stp_back:/omniback/stpuxdr -x inc_entire-vg00

Hope this helps
