make_net_recovery

That you run on the workstation.

It needs to be pointed to an NFS mount point that gives read/write permissions to the workstation.

Example
/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s tzfat -x inc_entire=vg00 -a jufdev:/scratch
/ignite/archives -C

the NFS mount is jufdev:/scratch

Hi

You can use make_net_recovery

the option is

#/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s hostname -d description some name) -v (for verbose)
-x (content option)inc_entire=vg00

Hope this helps

I was wrong.

To make a golden image of a workstation you do not use make_tape_recovery

/usr/contrib/bin/make_sys_image -d /images -s local -u

/images can be an NFS mount point.

make_net_recovery will make an image only good for that workstation. A golden image can be used on many workstations.

Apologize for the error.

Hi,
You should read the Ignite documentation about creating a golden image. There is some additional steps to perform after the "make_sys_image" before everything is working properly.
