command confirmation

[Shah Gaurang B.]

Hi,

To take ignite backup following command is ok ?

make_tape_recovery -IvA -x inc_entire=vg00

Thanks in advance

If the device file off your tape drive is /dev/rmt/0m

make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire_vg00 -I -v

If the device file off your tape drive is /dev/rmt/1m (or a higher number)

make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire_vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/1mn

depend on your tape device. if your tape for ignite is /dev/rmt/0mn its ok. but your tape different than /dev/rmt/0mn, pleae use -a option

make_tape_recovery -IA -a /dev/rmt/3mn -x inc_entire=vg00

thanks

yes.
make_tape_recovery -IvA -x inc_entire=vg00 is correct.
