Hi Subrata,

in office two hard disk in one machine. one hard disk is OS and application.how to take full hard disk image? ---->

Whats ur requierment??

OS image or Disk Image.

For OS image go for the Ignite backup of vg00 only exclude mount points other then OS.
Command for the same is,
#make_tape_recovery -Av -x inc_entire=vg00 -a tape drive path with mn -x exclude=/Mount_Point -t "Comment if any"

Hope u hav ignite installes in ur OS.

If want to take full disk image,
check the mount points in which include that and take ignite.

Hope this solves ur query
Dont forget to assign points.

The tool that you want to use is the make_media_install script located in /opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples.

make_media_install will create a bootable recovery tape or optical disk. Type make_media_install -? to display detailed usage information.

The script uses an image that you created previously using make_net_recovery or make_sys_image.

The following examples use the default /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root "media pseudo-root", a directory tree of all files going onto the tape or optical disk. The default pseudo-root can be overridden with the make_media_install -p switch. Before starting ensure that nothing exists under the pseudo-root path:

rm -r /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/*

Create an archives directory in the pseudo-root and copy the image into it:

mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archives
cp /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives//2006-08-21,05:00 /var/opt/ignite/media/pseudo_root/archives/B.11.23_archive_PA.gz

Below, make_media_install -r specifies the HP-UX release that will be placed on the bootable medium.

Use make_media_install to create an ISO image and write it to the media. The default output device is /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0:

cd /opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples

./make_media_install â  r B.11.23 â  a B.11.23_archive_PA.gz â  m /var/opt/ignite/media â  o64w â  f /var/opt/ignite/clients//recovery//system_cfg

If an optical recorder is not installed on the IUX server the last step of make_media_install will fail with the following error:

=== Step 6: Write image file to tape/CD/DVD media ===
+ /opt/ignite/lbin/growisofs -Z /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0=/var/opt/ignite/media/image.iso
:-( unable to open("/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0",O_RDONLY): No such device or address
+ Error 83 /opt/ignite/lbin/growisofs failed.

In this case the error is normal and the ISO image is created. Copy the image.iso file to a system that has an optical recorder and create the disk using the following command:

/opt/ignite/lbin/growisofs -Z /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0=/tmp/image.iso

To create a bootable tape do the following:

cd /opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples

./make_media_install â  T â  r B.11.11 â  a B.11.11_archive_PA.gz â  c /dev/rmt/1mn â  o64w â  f /var/opt/ignite/clients//recovery//system_cfg

Hope this helps.
