I've looked at the steps for make_tape_recovery in Patrick Walleks document but there seems to be a few differences between a tape and net ignite image.
Such as more config files. And, for example, I can't determine which cfg files to use for the make_medialif.
Here's some background information on my situation.:
This is how I create the ignite image:
-------- Start of script ---------
#!/bin/sh
export HOST=`uname -n`
export IGNITEDT=$(date)
export IGPATH=/opt/ignite/bin
rm /tmp/ignitelog.log
$IGPATH/make_net_recovery -s [IP of ignite server] -a 10.1.x.xxx:/images/$HOST -A -b -d "$HOST for $IGNITEDT" -n 3 -m tar >/tmp/ignitelog.log
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]
then
cat /tmp/ignitelog.log | mailx -s "Ignite of $HOST was Successfully Completed" unix_admins@somedomain.com
else
cat /tmp/ignitelog.log | mailx -s "Ignite of $HOST FAILED" unix_admins@somedomain.com
fi
-------- end of script ---------
This creates files in two locations:
Config files are in:
-------------------------
/var/opt/ignite/clients/[servername]/recovery/2005-12-02,02:45/
archive_cfg
archive_content
control_cfg
flist
manifest
recovery.log
system_cfg
The actual image is in:
/images/[servername]/

SolutionYes,
You can create a bootable DVD from your system using the exact same tools as make_net_recovery.
Here is a document.
Concepts:
http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/james/dispDoc.do?docURL=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.hp.com%2Fredirect.html%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%2F%2Fdocs.hp.com%2Fen%2FB2355-90893%2Fch08s04.html%26qt%3D%2BIgnite%2BDVD%2Bwrite%26hit%3D1&aid=SEARCH_MANUAL&pil=1&serStr=Ignite+DVD+write
All you need to do is change the make_sys_image parameters to create the image you wish.
The procedure above works with HP-9000/Integrity DVD writers. They seem to only like DVD RW+ media.

Re: make_net_recovery to DVD
On a weekly basis I run make_net_recovery on all my systems.
This creates an image on my Ignite server in /images/servername/imagename
Could I not skip the make_sys_image step and use the image created by make_net_recovery with some cfg changes?
Or is there something fundamentally different in the two image types?

Re: make_net_recovery to DVD
make_sys_image is the only command to create the ignite image. Even the make_net_recovery internally calls the make_sys_image for creating the images.
Instead of using make_net_recovery , u can use mak_sys_image itself to copy the image in another server.
#make_sys_image -s (servername) -d (dest directory) -n (archieve name).

Re: make_net_recovery to DVD
The below link refers the admin guide, Please see the 8th chapter and creating DVD media.
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90893/B2355-90893.pdf
As I told you, instead of using make_net_recovery, use make_sys_image itself to create image on remote m/c, where DVD RW+ is avial. And create the DVD.

Re: make_net_recovery to DVD
But just an FYI
This is why I want to use the image from make_net_recovery.
We have an existing automated process which creates ignite images of all our HP-UX servers to our Ignite server. Using make_net_recovery.
So instead of re-running the image create process on our extremely busy systems I want to be able to use these existing images to create the bootable DVD.
If anyone has done this please let me know how.
Thanks again

Re: make_net_recovery to DVD
The problem is that make_sys_image seems to want to archive the ENTIRE /dev/vg00.
Whereas I only want the minimal OS required. And will possibly add a few customization later once I know I can create a bootable DVD.
Question
----------------
How can I stop make_sys_image from archiving the entire vg00 and just do what's required for a minimal OS?

Re: make_net_recovery to DVD
You can edit the
make_sys_image script and
edit the LEVEL2_NO_ARCHIVE protion of the file to include the files/directories that you want to exclude from taking bakup / in the image.
With Regards,
Siva.

Re: make_net_recovery to DVD
I am editing the LEVEL2_NO_ARCHIVE portion of the file to include the files/directories that I want to exclude from the image.
But I'm trying to recall where I once saw a configuration file which defined the minimal core OS files for an image.
I want to use that as a starting point to verify I have everything I need for a valid archive.
Valid meaning I don't want to exclude files required for the OS to operate properly.
Cheers
