HI,
I want to take the backup entire vg00.

server side
1./opt/ignite/bin/add_new_client -s < Ignite server name> -f

#/opt/ignite/bin/add_new_client -s -f

this i need to fire ?

2.done
3.done
4.done
==================
On client server
check #showmount -a command to confirm whether the filesystem is properly exported

when i did nothing is showing though i hv exported from server uning exportfs -av

[jona_1]

on ignite server(node A) i fire this command:--

node A(OVO8):/opt/ignite/bin (root) /opt/ignite/bin/add_new_client -s nodeA -f
Ignite-UX recovery tools are up-to-date, no action required.

ERROR: Failed to copy config.sys from /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/INSTALLFS
on "delovo05".
You must use the '-R release' option to specify a release
that is supported by "delovo05".
On "delovo05" list the contents of /opt/ignite/boot to
determine the supported releases.
node a(OVO8):/opt/ignite/bin (root)

I think you need to run this command from the client side so that it could be added to the Ignite server .

>>#/opt/ignite/bin/add_new_client -s -f

How come this command knows who is the client ??

Thanks

The Full process is listed here ,just cross
check if you have similar entries in /etc/exports & exportfs -av ( server side )
shows that the directory "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives" is exported or not.

You can even add the clients later.

The directory is to be exported from server
side ,and clients needs to be added from the
client side. It`s not that complicated -)

1. create the client directory in the ignite server server
"mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ServerB"

2. chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ServerB

3. edit with vi /etc/exports in the ignite server
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ServerB -anon=2,access=ServerA"

4. run the following command in the ignite server
"exportfs -av"

5. and in teory you should be able to run the ignite backup now in ServerA
"make_net_recovery -s " -x inc_entire=vg00

Hope this helps.

Thanks

3. edit with vi /etc/exports in the ignite server
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ServerB -anon=2,access=ServerA"

server A is our ignite server & server B is out client which we need to take the backup..so are you sure that we need to put serverA in etc/exports??????

HI Manix ,
please find the attachment. i am also facing export issue because client side nothing is showing ..pls find the attachemnt.

[Manix]

server is delovo05 & client is torovo02 right !!

server has exported the directory to store archive ..

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/torovo02 torovo02 delovo05(root):

You may try running the below command from client side ( make sure nfs.client & core is running on client )
showmount -ae from client side

you may run "make_tape-recovery" now !!

[jona_1]

Hi,
Tnx again...
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/tXrXvXXX torovo02 delovo05(root): "

you mean i need to put the above entry in /etc/exports?

current entry is like this:-
-------------------------------
/var/opt/backup -root=delovo04
/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/tXrXvXXX -anon=2,access=tXrXvXXX
-----------------------------------
so the 3rd line i hv to comment & put the following entry ?
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/tXrXvXXX tXrXvXXX delovo05(root):
===============================
2.make sure nfs.client & core is running on client )

please find the attachment ...again showmount through some error.

[Manix]

No directory is exported from the server side..so no more entry needed

please check from the client side ..

# /etc/hosts files has entry for the ignite server.

# /etc/nsswitch.conf has entries for "files" first & then for DNS

# try /sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop | start

& /sbin/init.d/nfs.core client stop | start

#mount -t nfs server_IP:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/torovo02 /mount_point_on client


>>server A is our ignite server & server B >is out client which we need to take the >backup..so are you sure that ..

yes that was a typo error , you are correct!!

Thanks
Manix
