ignite/ux

[Ricky_4]

Hi All,

Is there an option of excluding a directory during image creation of ignite/ux using make_recovery command? By the way I'm using make_recovery -ACv.

Thanks.

#make_recovery -A -c -v -i -p -d /dev/rmt/0mn

This p option will do a preview instead doing a ignite image.
Then you can edit
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch.include
file and exclude the files and directories that are not required.

Then the -r option resumes the ignite image creation.

check for the man pages of make_recovery.

Thanks

You can use make_tape_recovery:
# make_tape_recovery -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0m -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exc_dir=/dir

key: exc_dir will exclude this directory

Sorry there is a mistake in syntax, should be keywords: include and exclude look to man pages: man make_tape_recovery

Try this:

# make_tape_recovery -I -v -a /dev/rmt/?mn -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/dir/name

This information is in the man page for 'make_tape_recovery'

BTW: The 'Interactive' (-I) option is better, you can have total control over what get's recovered.

Hi Michael Tully,

Using this command
"#make_tape_recovery -I -v -a /dev/rmt/?mn -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/dir/name", what will be the separator if there is many exclude directory within the "-x exclude" option?

Thank again.

# make_tape_recovery -I -v -a /dev/rmt/?mn -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/xxx -x exclude=/yyy -x exclude=/zzz

Thanks
