make_net_recovery error message - not enough space

[Jack C. Mahaffey]

I got the following error message when running the make_net_recovery in interactive mode:
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch_mnt on local needs 307918 kbytes free."

I assume this is the location where tar is likely done to save the recovery files.
1> Is there anything I can do in the command line to have these files placed somewhere else other than create a symbolic link or increase the size of the logical volume?
2> Is the byte count fairly accurate or will I need more disk space available.

Hi Jack,

Here is an extract of the manual page for make_net_recovery:

--QUOTE
make_net_recovery recognizes the following options:

-a archive_server:archive_dir
Specifies the NFS server and location to store the archive.
The archive directory must be NFS exported (See section
"Exporting Archive Directory") and sufficient disk space is
required. The default is the hostname of the Ignite-UX
server followed by the directory which holds the archive.
e.g.,
Serverhost:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/.
The hostname is the name of the system being archived. Each
make_net_recovery client will create a subdirectory named
after the client hostname under the specified directory to
store the archives.
--ENDQUOTE

You should be able to store your archive wherever you want on your network.

Best regards,

Dan

When running make_net_recovery in interactive mode, I included the exported directory name for destination in the text box. There is a separate text box for destination host. I assumed by destination directory the program was using the value supplied in the text box.

I get the message "ERROR: -a option cannot be selected when running make_net_recovery iteractively".
