Golden image

[Fabian Briseño]

Hello guys, nice day to you all.
Several quick questions, The other day I made a golden image of a server, this is the command I utilized.
The image was taken on an K260 server. with hpux 11.i

make_sys_image -s -d /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/golden11.11 -l 2 -n golden11.i.gz

does this command look ok, or do I have to add anything else ?

after this finished this was displayed:
pax: var/spool/cron/tmp/croutJCWa01298 : No such file or directory
WARNING: The pax command returned a non-zero exit status (exit status 1).
* Creation of system archive complete.
* Clean up: Do not interrupt; restoring files, kernel, and transition
links.

What does exit status 1 mean ?
In teory I should be able to recover this image on any server on my site, correct ?
Does this image contain everithing from kernel parameters to patches ?
can I use the "-x inc_entire=vg00" command here ?

Thanks in advance.

hi

for the pax error, it's not critical
I see this file before begin to save, and when the save is completed, the file may be deleted
Warning is just for indicates at one moment files is present , after is not present.

Hi,

Yes, the command is correct.

The error message, as mentioned before is normal. When you first execute the command the file is there, after you finished, it's gone. The image will contain your kernel and patches

The image will be able to recovered into any alike server, but not into a server with a huge differences, for a sample, this is not a cell based server, if you restore it to a cell based server, it will not running properly.

Regards,
Sandy
