Crash Recovery

[Timothy DiBenedetto_1]

Hello,
Could someone please point me to documentation for restore/recovery in the event of hardware crash. Not emergency yet, but there is no recovery plan in house at this time. Pretty scary.
Thank You. Tim.

If you're talking about file system backup and recovery, there is a chapter on "Backup and restoring Data" in the "HPUX System Administration Tasks" document. It basically describes the use of fbackup and frecover.

Hi Tim,

Try Ignite/UX, which normally is available
via www.software.hp.com, but seems to be
unreachable today.

Ignite/UX lets you create a so called recovery tape, which is bootable and
can be used to (even unattended) recover
your system.

Hope this answer your question

Kinds regards,

Hi,

I would advise to look to LVM (disk crash).
Make sure to have every part of your system in duplicate.

For very high availability systems I would recommend working with clusters and using MC/ServiceGuard. (See HP Education)
