HP-UX Ignite variable: ALLOW_DISK_REMAP

[Martin L]

Hi everybody,
I am using Ignite command "make_net_recovery" to create Ignite images.
Does anybody know where I can setup variable ALLOW_DISK_REMAP to "true" (in which configuration file), for the recovery to work even if a disk has been moved from one to another slot between backup and recovery ?

Shalom,

I don't do it in a configuration file. When you boot an Ignite client you have the option to intervene manually in the process and make any disk arrangements you need.

Thank you Steven, but according to the administration guide, the ALLOW_DISK_REMAP variable can be setup somewhere and makes the recovery process much more easy, without needing to know anything about the disks hardware paths.

You will find the parameter in the system_cfg recovery archive configuration file. Check the CINDEX file for its path.

I hope you know the significance,consequences of this parameter?. Read the man page of instl_adm.

Don't assume that Ignite-UX is smart enough or reliable enough to select the correct disk for recovery when you change the disk slot i.e h/w path. That's why with Network recovery being Interactive, this paramter is always false by default.

Thank you Sameer.
Yes, I know the consequences.
Yes I will use instl_adm to change this variable default value:
1) instl_adm -d > file
2) then insert line
allow_disk_remap=true
into file
3) instl_adm -f file
