How ignite ux work

[kholikt]

Hi,

Everyone know how to use make_recovery and recovery from the tape. But Is there any document mention how ignite ux overall is going to work.

[Patrick Wallek]

What do you mean "...how ignite ux overall is going to work."? I don't understand your question. Can you please elaborate?

Information on Ignite is available here:
http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/index.html

I mean like for example,

What is internal working mechacism for Ignite UX recovery?

For example what sort of steps was taken by Ignite to rebuild a system.

- make boot image
- create all vg

[A. Clay Stephenson]

Why don't you try a very radical approach? Read the documentation. It's very detailed and will explain far better than any replies you are going to get here. The short answer is that Ignite is really geared towards restoring /dev/vg00 including all kernel tunings, disk layouts, software that was installed under swagentd, and patches. You then vgimport the other VG's. Ignite will actually do more than vg00 but most experienced admins use it to restore the OS and then conventional backups taleover from there if required.

Ah. I may know what you mean
In order to recover your OS from ignite tape, Just do as following:
1, reboot your server
2, Insert tape to driver
3, change boot at ISL to tape
PDC> se IPL
4, ISL>boot Px (Px is tape file name)

Recovery tape will ask you some (such as password, ip...)

Hi,

If you are looking for the basic functionality of ignite, the we may put it as, The list of files which are determined by the various cfg files and bundle selections and it makes a compressed archive using "pax" utility.

Regards,

Siva.
