Are you running the make_net_recovery as root or another user?

[DnD_1]

am running as root.

-Use hostnames instead of IP. Is there any difference?

-Try testing from the server side using ignite command (GUI) and see whether it is working or not

-Please check the ignite versions on your server and client. Looks like there is a mismatch. If so, make it the same version

the ignite version is different version, am going to update them and try again.

Hi DnD,

Are you able to run other SD commands on the client like swlist, swinstall, etc.?
Are you using DNS? Can you post "cat /etc/hosts" output?

hi rasheed,

just wondering, after the recovery..

can we umount the directory ?

and is there anyway we can copy the ignite to tape ?

thanks !!!!

Hi DnD,

You can unmount the dir (/cdr/work/proc/ELR_backup) if you want. But does it help in anyway? I do not understand any value in it. There is slight possibility your colleagues might re-use the LV for another purpose!

>and is there anyway we can copy the ignite to tape ?

Do you mean that you want to copy the contents of the archive to tape. You can do it by normal backup tools. But if you want the tape as ignite bootable - you cannot. May be with dd but I never did it with ignite. Because you need the LIF area on the tape for booting.

If you have a cd/dvd on the server where there is no tape drive, you can create boot cd/dvd with the tool make_medialif (create bootable Ignite-UX LIF media image file)or you can move the image to another one where there is a tape and move it to tape. Also I never done it. As I do not have a test env. here I am not able to test it. Meanwhile, I will just try to get more info if I get time, and I would post a reply.

There is alos make_boot_tape - which creates bootable tape to connect to an Ignite server which needs a tape drive on the client side

What I suggest is that if you are really looking for this kind of solution, open another thread with the correct subject. Because this thread is already having more than 30 replies so that others might not look at this thread.
