Ignite works the same.

"its internal disk are still on c1t2d3 format"

Integrity boot disks are

You can run "make_tape_recovery" as usual, if you want to recover, you can use the "two-step-method" (booting from install media and restore from tape) or use native tape boot if possible (depends on server model and firmware).

ok so in order to recover i need a 11.23 disk and a recovery tape... People are saying its the same, if it is then i dont need a disk to recover 11.11.


Secondly,

u see okay mk_recovery does the vgexport part but lets say a vg has 100 gigs and it has different device files for the disks then in the recovery place lets say when we go to sungard we just create a 100gig vg. My question is that the device files stored in the vgconfiguration while making mk_recovery willl not be the same as teh sungard will use different disk configuration then wont that be a problem...
eg: c3t2d0 in actual environment and c5t6d9 in sungard
i have a vg 100 gig with 6 disks c1t1d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7 and in the sungard site i have 100 gig with c2t3d10,d11,d12,13,d14,d15 and i am restoring,,, will the system just take it or say wrong devices ?

Thanks

While going for the ignite recovery, you could go to Advanced option and select the Boot disk

After the server boot's us, you could well do a vgimport with the map file available with the new disks

You lost me know. What does 11.11 and 11.23 have to do with your original question? Also, when you go to DR at sunguard you can easily create new volume groups using the storage they give you. Then restore the data using your backup software to those mount points. Don't over think it.

Wow. You lost me know. Ha. I meant "You've lost me now." Sigh.
