Hi,

Use the make_tape_recovery command like:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/0mn -Ivx inc_entire=vg00

This assumes your tape drive is /dev/rmt/0mn & that you want your entire vg00 VG.
man make_tape_recovery for details.

HTH,
Jeff

assuming /dev/rmt/0m is you drive:
ioscan -fnkCtape

New version:

make_tape_recovery -s myserver -x inc_entire=vg00

check man pages, for more info.

check for Ignite UX installed on your system

swlist |grep -i ignite

make_tape_recovery for 11.0 and above

and make_recovery for the older systems i.e. 10.x...

man make_tape_recovery for details

my ignite backup is taken using

make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -lv -a /dev/rmt/0m

with best wishes

1) Ignite Unix B.x version is for HP-Unix 11.x & A.x version for HP-Unix 10.x.
2) Ignite unix is a backup & recovery utility which creates a Golden Image of the HP-UX system.

BACKUP:
@ To create a system recovery archive of entire root disk volume :
a) default tape device = /dev/rmt/0m
b) Load the tape
c) #make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00

A tape will be created without further interactions.

@To create the complete system backup

a) Load the tape
b) make_tape_recovery -A

A Tape will be created without further interaction.You can boot this tape on your new system.


RECOVERY:

a) load the system recovery tape in the tape drive
b) boot the system
c) Interrupt the boot sequence to redirect it to the tape drive.
d) Cancel the non-interactive installation by pressing any key when given the opportunity.
e) Allow the installation process to complete.
