IGNITE Server

[P Turner]

Hi

I am trying to setup an ignite server, so I can use the /opt/ignite/make_net_recovery to perform ignite make_recovery backups and store the images on the Ignite server.
Im not getting very far at all trying to find some documentation so that I can work out how to do it.

hi,


What is your problem :

-construct an ignite server to save all clients or just create a backup ignite on a server ?

hi

I have just finished to install a new server ignite

some precautions :

- assure that clients and server are the same version of ignite release
-Install ignite on server ignite
- modify /etc/inetd.conf
Add :
bootps dgram udp wait root /opt/ignite/lbin/instl_bootd instl_bootd
restart inetd by inetd -c
-Copy the depot to var/opt/ignite/depot/recovery_cmd

swcopy -x layout_version=0.8 -s /var/depot/ignite/B5725AA @ /var/opt/ignite/depo
ts/recovery_cmds/
-register depot by swreg -l depot /var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery_cmds
- Add new clients by GUI

It is a real job to drag out this information about setting up some clients (clients run make_tape_recovery and the Ignite server stores the images):

1. Create a client directory on ignite_server:

umask 022
mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client_1
chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client_1
(repeat for each client)

2. Edit /etc/exports on ignite_server to add a line for the new box:

vi /etc/exports
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client_1 -access=client_1,anon=2

(repeat for each client)

Add/edit a general line for the clients directory export (add the name of each new client to this list using : separator)

/var/opt/ignite/clients -access=client_1:client_2:client_3,anon=2


3. Run exportfs -av to update the NFS tables on ignite_server. Your /etc/exports file on the ignite server would look something like this:

/var/opt/ignite/clients -access=client_1:client_2:client_3,anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client_1 -access=client_1,anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/c;ient_2 -access=client_2,anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client_3 -access=client_3,anon=2

You probably want to make /var/opt/ignite into a separate lvol and mountpoint so /var won't fill up. Make sure your clients can now mount the clients directory as well as their recovery/archives/ directory over the network. Now you are ready to run make_net_recovery.
