Mondo rescue rpm for the itanium platform

Geetha_1 — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 14:04:33 GMT

Can some one tell me where I could locate the Mondo Rescue rpm (binary not source) for the ia64 platform?

We have HP Integrity rx4640 servers (itanium processor). I checked out mondorescue.org and I can find rpms for most architecture except ia64.
Thanks.
Geetha.

Shalom,

ia64 is Itanium.

As to whether I'd rely on this as DR I'm not sure.

Commercial support, might make you feel warmer and fuzzier.

SEP

It's not available for RHEL AS 4 yet. Only RHEL AS 3. You could download src rpm here:

ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/

and try an rpmbuild. here is a doc:

Should I take the source and build it for RHEL4? Thanks.

I would look into akronis as SEP suggested. Building the rpm may or may not have bugs associated with it. Pius getting support may prove difficult. I am actually going to look into using akronis after looking at the product page. Looks useful, plus it's a red hat certified piece of software.
