booting from make_net_recovery image

[Joe Profaizer]

I did a make_net_recovery, and I want to build a new machine, but I don't know what to input at the boot prompt. The command I used for the make _tape_recovery has been working just fine on a weekly basis:
/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s stlpora2 -x inc_entire=vg00

This command is from stlpora1 and I want to build a new server (with a different name and IP). I'm redeploying this new server as a development server to stlpora1.
The IUX server is on the same subnet, etc....

Thanks,

..Joe

Ho joe,

You could try:

boot lan

where IP address is the IP address of your ignite server.

I tried that to no avail.

Hi Joe,

If the system already has OS on it, then it is very easy. Just add it as a client to your ignite server, duplicate the recovery contents and boot it from ignite server. For ex., you created net_recovery image for stlpora2 and you are trying to put it on stlpora1. Add stlpora1 as an ignite client to your ignite server. stlpora2 is already a client because you are taking make_net_recovery image. Do

cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/stlpora2

find CINDEX recovery | cpio -pdvma

../stlpora1

Edit /etc/exports file and add stlpora1 to the entry that has stlpora2 and export it ' export -a'

Now install stlpora1 from the ignite server using the "Install Client -> new install".

I have a similar problem, and the linked document does not work for me (link is to U.S. site and I am in European site).
I have successfully made an image using make_net_recovery.
I have copied the CINDEX and recovery directory as the manual states.
When I try to install via Ignite server, I get options for vanilla installs, but not for the system I want to clone.
How do I get this option to appear?
