Check_recovery with make_tape_recovery

[Robert Funk_1]

Piggy backing off the posting from http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xc7195bd3782dd711abdc0090277a778c,00.html , is there a way to have check_recovery tell you what is new since the last make_tape_recovery? It appears the check_recovery only tells me what is new since the last time I ran make_recovery.

I now use make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn . Any ideas?

Thank you,
Robert

Hi Robert,

Sorry, check_recovery functionality has been obsoleted with the adoption of make_tape_recovery.
It'll only work with
make_recovery -C

check_recovery as far as I know has never worked with make_tape_recovery. It only worked with make_recovery and used to use vast amounts of system resources. When attempting to run check_recovery the program should complain that the there is no /var/opt/ignite/recovery/makrec.last file and fail. You could utilise it with the old make_recovery program with the -C option. There are other options you could utilise, by installing 'tripwire' or something similar.

Check_recovery was one of my favourites and allowed me to plan well for the creation of ignite tapes in my previous experience.

It is not available anymore with make_tape_recovery due to I believe, recommendations from user community.

So we need to find another way like looking at logs, arch.include etc.,
