ignite backups

[Gabriel Valdez_1]

We recently upgraded to HP-UX11i and the make recovery command has changed. Can anyine tell me the process of make recovery in 11i. Thanks

make_reocvery has been replaced by make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery.

To create the bootable recovery tape, enter:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -ACv

where: v is for verbose mode and A specifies the entire root disk or volume group. Also, more than one volume group can be specified with the -x option.

If a tape drive other than the default (/dev/rmt/0m ) will be used, modify the command to point to the device you want to use, for example a tape drive at /dev/rmt/3mn :

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -ACv -d/dev/rmt/3mn


Be sure to get the latest version of Ignite and the required pax patch.
