Volume Group information created by Ignite

[Timothy P. Jackson]

Hello Everyone,

When you run the ignite process it backups the volume group information. I cannot remember where it puts this information.

System: rp4440
OS: HP-UX 11i Version 3

I have used this information to import a VG before but now I cannot remember where it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
you probably mean the 'manifest' file?

When you make ignite backup to ignite server via make_net_recovery, the file is stored in /var/opt/ignite/clients//manifest/manifest

* Creating System Configuration.
* /opt/ignite/bin/save_config -f
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/2010-08-12,07:06/system_cfg==> vg00

* Backing Up Volume Group /dev/vg00
* /usr/sbin/vgcfgbackup /dev/vg00
* Creating Map Files for Volume Group /dev/vg00
* /usr/sbin/vgexport -s -p -m /etc/lvmconf/vg00.mapfile /dev/vg00


& system_cfg & control_cfg are the two files
which may help you to know about volume groups been exported in preview mode @ the time of ignite backup.

To be more precise system_cfg would help.

Thanks
