after you create a recovery archive using the gui. How do you load that image on another server using the gui? Help?

---------------------------------
At the moment there is no current plans to implement this request.

There isn't any possibility to copy/move/load/delete recovery archives from one to another system using the UI at this time.

As whiteknight mentioned, there is an open discussion in this matter for giving the opportunity for better handling recovery archives in the new UI, but there is still no deadline when it will be implemented.

This process is referred to as cloning. Below is how you do it. Replace and with the host names and replace the MAC address with the MAC address of the target system.

1. If it does not already exist create a target client directory on the IUX server. The directory should have the client's MAC address as it's name. A symbolic link should be created with the client's host name:

mkdir /var/opt/ignite/clients/0x00306E4B28C9
ln -s 0x00306E4B28C9 /var/opt/ignite/clients/

2. Copy the source client directory to the target directory:

cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/
find CINDEX recovery | cpio -pdvma ../

3. Add the target client to the source client's exported image directory in /etc/exports and re-export the directory:

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ -anon=2,access=:
exportfs /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/

4. From the Ignite GUI select
Actions + Boot client...
Actions + Install Client + New Install...

Hope this helps.
