Cloning a system using make_sys_image

[Tracey Katrusiak]

I am trying to use make_sys_image to clone a server for DR purposes, however, I only want to clone vg00. I have run list_expander to create a file list of vg00. The output of the make_sys_image command continues to create a full system recovery (all vg's on the system). This the syntax i'm using to create the image:
make_sys_image -g \
-d /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/install-images \
-s -l 1 -n -m t -c g

The list_expander syntax used was:
list_expander -A /dev/vg00 > vg00-file The file created appears to have only vg00 information.

Try using with the correct tape device:
make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

This will also allow you to interact with the recovery so you could change file system sizes, network, ect if you wanted when you recover.

This server is not equipped with a tape drive.

You could do make_net_recovery. There is also a gui if you are new to the tool.
