Cluster - make_recovery

[Massimo_29]

Hi,

I would know how I can recover my S.O. (HP-UX 11.i) in cluster with make_tape_recovery command.
I've two Vg per server (VG00 with S.O. and VG01 with NNM DB and configuration files).
Is it necessary to recover else VG01?
Can you give me some command or procedure to do this?
Thanks
best regards
Stefano

I thought that the file to edit for inclusing is /var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch.include

Am I mistaken here?

[Lorenzo Facello]

sorry,
the file to edit is
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/flist <--

Hello,
with -A only vgOO will be saved.
Good luck.

Hi Stefano,

I suggest using make_tape_recovery to backup only vg00. vg01 will automatically be imported when you restore vg00 with ignite. More data you put on the tape, less dependable that tape would be.

Also generate map files regularly and save them on network somewhere.

vgexport -p -v -s -m /tmp/vg01.map vg01
vgexport -p -v -s -m /tmp/vg00.map vg00
cp /etc/fstab /tmp/fstab.

They will come handy during the disasters.

Regularly create make_tape_recovery tapes for vg00 and general backup (with fbackup or your backup software) for vg00 and vg01.
