HPUX 11.0: make_recovery

I have a N4000 class server I need to restore a file from a make_recvoery tape. A) Can individual files be restore from a make_recovery tape?
B)Can a make_recovery tape be used to re-image or clone new server builds? If so, are there any none issues with duplicate MAC addresses that should be noted before prior to execution?

Re: HPUX 11.0: make_recovery

a)
# cd / {This line should read: cd {slash} so that you are in root directory)
# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn rew
# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
# tar xvf /dev/rmt/0mn etc/copyright

Replace etc/copyright with the file you want to recover. Do not use a preceding slash.


b) When you boot from the tape on the 2nd system, Ignite will recognize that the system is different than the original system, so it will go into interactive mode, where it prompts you for the new hostname, ip, etc.

Second question first: yes, download the latest version of Ignite from:
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/index.html
It handles recovering onto different server hardware.

First question: I think you can restore individual files by forward spacing over the boot info with the mt command. From there it's just a tar (or pax, in this case) backup. Someone else can probably provide more detail.
