ignite-ux how to exclude files

[Li Hao]

I need to ignite vg00, is there any way to exclude certain directories? Some directory in vg00 is too big and not very important, which I do not want to include in the image.

Li Hao,

If you need to exclude more files then it is recommended to design a graph file for that. Design graph file with file names you want to exclude with e in front of their path.
eg.

e /var/xyz.Z

For more details see man pages.

You mean like with the options defined on the manual page, such as (please excuse the wrapping if the posting munges the manual page stuff):

-x exclude=file|directory
Excludes the file or directory from the archive. When a
directory is specified, no files beneath that directory will
be stored in the archive. If the excluded directory is an
unmounted file system shown in the /etc/fstab file, a
WARNING ("Filesystem xxx is not mounted. It will be
ignored.") message will be displayed.

Note, file names may NOT end with a space.

I hope you have regular backups of the files you're not putting onto the recovery archive from vg00.

Hi,

You can also use -p and -r option with make_tape_recovery. Please go through the MAN pages for option detail.

Li Hao,

example:-
Create a system recovery tape that includes all of the vg00 and vg01
volume groups, but that excludes the /depots directory:

#make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01 -x exclude=/depots
