Question about Ignite Restore

[Shailendran V Naidu]

The Flat answer to your original question is - No

All the File Systems that have been excluded will have to be recreated from the lvol level and restored.

[Shailendran V Naidu]

Besides i think there are a few irrelevent kernels which you may never need.
You may want to delete it or move it else where.

Out of this list, the file sizes of /stand/vmunix and /stand/current/vmunix are strikingly same. Run a diff against these two files and if they are the same, you can move /stand/current/vmunix to a different filesystem, to give you the temporary breathing room. Upon successful completion of a newly compiled kernel, it will be replaced by this new kernel and you do not have to move back the /stand/current/vmunix into original place, instead just delete it. If it does not, i.e., problems in kernel compilation, you can always refer back to this copy after booting to a recovery media and copying it back to its original place.

Hope this helps

Thanks all for your excellent responses and support.

Shalom,

Just a final bit of advice.

/stand is a single purpose file system. The only information that needs to be there is what is required to compile a kernel.

The files on stand if they are not being regularly used to boot the system can be stored elsewhere. HP-UX 11.11 still requires /stand to be HFS, but the files are not damaged by being stored elsewhere.

You can avoid the difficulty of ignite rebuilding your system with a few decisions on what you really need to boot your system off of.

I mean lets say you have a special kernel for running oracle all by itself, does it really need to sit in /stand or can it sit elsewhere and be moved into position just prior to reboot.
