Re: make ignite tape from a make_net_recovery server image
Hi
I am not sure whether you can restore from the tape backup of a netbackup. If u type "ignite" on the ignite server you will get a menu like sam and you can select some option from it.
The netrecovery archive will be available at /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/clientname directory.
You can get more information from http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90872/

CS

Hi
I am pasting the contents of the book....
Create a Bootable Archive Tape using the Network
This section explains how to create a self-contained recovery tape for a recovery configuration already stored on an Ignite-UX server using network system recovery. For more information, refer to make_net_recovery(4) for more details. It is important that the archive fit onto a single tape.
These instructions assume that:
The hostname of the machine the archive was created for is sys.
The archive was created at "2001-03-12,09:00".
The archive will fit onto a single tape.
Build the LIF file. The LIF file will contain the Ignite-UX tools and environment, the configuration files produced for the recovery archive, and the scripts used during recovery.
Use make_medialif to build the LIF file:
cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/sys/recovery/2001-03-12,09:00
make_medialif -f system_cfg -f control_cfg -f archive_cfg \
-C "2001-03-12,09:00 sys1 recovery image" \
-l /var/tmp/my_lif -a -r os_rev
Modify the LIF file for use on the tape:
instl_adm -d -F /var/tmp/my_lif > /var/tmp/cfg
Add these lines to the end of the /var/tmp/cfg file:
control_from_server=FALSErun_ui=TRUEOR, if you just want the recovery to proceed without any interaction, make:
run_ui = FALSEand specify to allow warnings as shown here:
env_vars += "INST_ALLOW_WARNINGS=10"Enter:
instl_adm -F /var/tmp/my_lif -f /var/tmp/cfg
Create the Tape. To write the LIF and archive to a tape:
Determine which tape device file you can use to write the tape. The device file must match the tape drive type you will use when actually recovering the system. Also, the tape device file must be the no-rewind type. For the rest of this example, assume that /dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n is a no-rewind DDS-1/no compression device file.
Rewind the tape, write out the LIF and archive, and rewind again:
mt -t /dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n rew
dd if=/var/tmp/my_lif of=/dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n obs=2k
dd if=/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/sys1/2001-03-12,09:00 \
of=/dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n obs=10k
mt -t /dev/rmt/c1t0d0DDS1n rew
In this example, the archive is retrieved from the standard location on the Ignite-UX server for this host. If you have chosen to put the archive elsewhere, refer to that location instead.
