how to copy a ignite net recovery to a dat

[Stefano Unternaehrer]

Hello. I have a recovery file on a ignite server,
created with make_net_recovery. I need now to
recover this client server but cannot reach the
server from the client. So I need to copy this
recovery file to a dat and use it locally on
the client. Can someone tell me how to create
a bootable dat, and how to append the recovery
file after that, skipping (probably) some
heading part of the recovery file. Quite urgent..
Thank you!

thank you for both repies, they should help me both, but cannot find any doc KNC090199002,
nor with search in IT Resource Center, nor
with a simple google search.. where is this document?

On your Ignite server machine there should be a file in /opt/ignite/share/doc called makenetrec.txt. I think that directory is correct, if not, look through the /opt/ignite sub-directories and look for that file.

Hi Stefano,

you can see docs if you have system handle linked to your ITRC user. If you have it then go on home page of ITRC ---> click on first link 'search technical knowledge base' and select 'Search by Doc.ID' inserting KNC090199002 ---> and go with search.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Ettore

Hi Stefano

Patrick is correct. Go to /opt/ignite/share and look in the doc makenetrec.text. There is a section down toward the bottom that says "Creating a Bootable Archive Tape". That will give you instruction on copying a make_net_recovery to tape.

Thank you all, we restored the
OS through the ignite image. A big thank you also to Mr.Landolt and Mr.Carbone from HP Switzerland! Just a pity that make_net_recovery doesn't support the -A option, available with make_recovery, and we have now restored a system with lot of important missing components..
