ignite link

[Francis Flan]

Hi,

I've a pretty basic ln question:

I created a VG to hold all the ignite images from make_net_recovery.
How can I link the current location of the image to this new VG without the current location expanding in size anymore.

Something along the lines of this?
ln /var/opt/ignite/recovery/client... /vg_ignite/images/

Francis,

I asume you have created a logical volume in your new vg and you have created a mount point for this lvol.

option 1
create a link from /var/opt/ignite/recovery/client to your new lvol.

# ln -s /var/opt/ignite/recovery/client.... /mount_point

option 2
use the new lvol to store the complete /var/opt/ignite tree and mount it on /var/opt/ignite.

HTH,
Robert-Jan

Shalom,

Option one above is probably better, soft link redirection.

/var filesystem is rarely large enough to hold a lot of Ignite images.

Thanks for the advice guys.
I just kicked off a make_net_recovery and so far it is proceding as normal.

Now to allow other servers to store their Ignite images on the same VG - do I use NFS or present the Ignite disk to each of the servers?

The ignite server does this for you. When you either use the gui or make_net_recovery from a client it automatically mounts the /var/opt/ignite/clients and /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives to the client server.

Only need all clients to be in /etc/exports.
