Ignite-UX for 11.0

[dictum9]

I have a 11.0. Where do I get make_tape_recovery from (or make_recovery, which superceded it)

[James R. Ferguson · Accepted solution]

Hi:

First, 'make_tape_recovery' superceded 'make_recovery'. That said, for the out-of-support 11.0 release you can get Ignite from the Application CD set.

Regards!

I got the software in a software depot on a box, does it need to be installed on both the machine where the image is made and also the machine that will boot off the tape?

No, think about what you are asking. Make_tape_recovery is intended to boot a box from a blank disk if necessary. There is no need to install Ignite UX on the target machine and then use the tape to boot. The idea is that you install Ignite/UX on each target machine and run make_tape_recovery. You then have a tape that can uniquely restore that machine (or alternately create a Golden Image) to restore a number of very similar machines.

You do want to install Ignite/UX later (although it will probably be a part of your Ignite image anyway) so that subsequent Ignite images can be made of this new target machine.

The other case is using make_net_recovery, here no tape drive is used but rather you do a LAN boot of the target machine from an Ignite server which has a previously created Ignite image of the target machine.

You really need to sit down and read through the Ignite documentation and then decide what strategy to employ for your environment.
