Get the timestamp of the latest successfull ignite system image taken?

[farid S]

Hi,

I run a lot of patch installation and system maintenance that require prior make_tape/net_recovery to be taken. the problem is that someone else take those, and I need to be sure that they've done their job.
So, is there a way to Get the timestamp of the latest successfull ignite system image taken? for eg from the logs or running any command?

Many Thanks,
FS

Login to the Ignite server and cd to the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives directory. Each client will have a directory. You can use the ll command to see the date the last backups were taken. Under each hostname, you'll see a directory with the name = date it was taken:

# cd /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives
# ls *
atl211/:
2010-05-12,16:13 2010-05-25,21:47

atl3/:
2010-04-27,11:56 2010-05-25,21:50 2010-05-26,08:54

atl5/:
2010-04-08,15:12 2010-04-27,11:37


For systems where a tape backup was made, you cd to /var/opt/ignite/recovery.

# cd /var/opt/ignite/recovery
# ls *
2010-06-08,14:29 2010-06-10,09:27 client_status latest makrec.append previews

Hello Farid,

Bill has the solution.

you can also automate this. create a cron job daily to e-mail you.

also if you want to know the success of the ignites.

tail the few lines from /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/make_taperecovery.log.
