Ignite Error when trying to create recovery from client.

[Amado A. Diaz Jr.]

I have just installed the latest version of the ignite. When I run make_net_recovery from the client I recieve the error:

The versions of the tools required for network system recovery on "client" are different from the versions on the server system "ignite_server". To ensure that versions are compatible, install the required toolset from the server ignite_server, using the /usr/sbin/swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -ignite_server:/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds "*"

But once I execute this command, I recieve another error telling me the client cannot connect to the ignite_server because it cannot find recovery_cmds. I then ran a find command on the ignite server and realized that recovery_cmds does not exist on the system. Is there any available download where I can install recovery_cmds on my ignite server? Is there any other way to ensure versions are compatible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Making a System Recovery Tape

The make_net_recovery tool does not, by default, install the full
Ignite/UX tool set on the client, since only an abbreviated tool set
is needed for make_net_recovery. In order to have tape recovery
capability (using make_recovery), you must ensure that the complete
Ignite/UX product is installed on the client. Run the following
command to build a complete recovery_cmds depot:

/opt/ignite/lbin/pkg_rec_depots -f -a

The -a option specifies the full version. Then, every time you
create a recovery archive using Ignite/UX, the set of tools loaded
onto the client will also include the ones needed for generating a
make_recovery tape.
