make_net_recovery exclude option

[Arunabha Banerjee]

Hi Gurus,

I want to take network recovery backup for one of my HP-UX system (vg00) but I want to exclude some file system / mount point which are not HP-UX core mount point. Please let me know from the bdf outpur what command I should run from client.

I want to exclude below file system / mount point:

/var/adm/crash         
/oracle                
/oracle/redo04/MVNOODSD
/oracle/redo03/MVNOODSD
/oracle/redo02/MVNOODSD
/oracle/redo01/MVNOODSD
/oracle/admin          
/oracle/MVNOODSD/d04   
/oracle/MVNOODSD/d03   
/oracle/MVNOODSD/d02   
/oracle/MVNOODSD/d01   
/mvno                  

So what will be the correct command ?

1.

/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -Av -s IgniteServer -x inc_entire=/dev/vg00 -x exclude=/var/adm/crash /oracle /oracle/redo04/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo03/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo02/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo01/MVNOODSD /oracle/admin /oracle/MVNOODSD/d04 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d03 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d02 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d01 /mvno

OR

2.

/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -Av -s IgniteServer -x exclude=/var/adm/crash /oracle /oracle/redo04/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo03/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo02/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo01/MVNOODSD /oracle/admin /oracle/MVNOODSD/d04 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d03 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d02 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d01 /mvno -x inc_entire=/dev/vg00

I was going to say only include /dev/vg00.  But you seem to have everything under there.

[Pete Randall · Accepted solution]

I believe you need to repeat the -x exclude keywords:

opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -Av -s IgniteServer -x inc_entire=/dev/vg00 -x exclude=/var/adm/crash -x exclude=/oracle /oracle/redo04/MVNOODSD -x exclude=/oracle/redo03/MVNOODSD -x exclude=/oracle/redo02/MVNOODSD -x exclude=/oracle/redo01/MVNOODSD -x exclude=/oracle/admin /oracle/MVNOODSD/d04 -x exclude=/oracle/MVNOODSD/d03 -x exclude=/oracle/MVNOODSD/d02 -x exclude=/oracle/MVNOODSD/d01 -x exclude=/mvno

Other than that, I don't think it makes any difference whether your includes come before or after your excludes.

Hi Pete

I tried the below command in the morning but it is only excluded /var/adm/crash mount point.

/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -Av -s IgniteServer -x inc_entire=/dev/vg00 -x exclude=/var/adm/crash /oracle /oracle/redo04/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo03/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo02/MVNOODSD /oracle/redo01/MVNOODSD /oracle/admin /oracle/MVNOODSD/d04 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d03 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d02 /oracle/MVNOODSD/d01 /mvno

Please have a look on the archive_content file from Ignite server. 

#cat archive_content
inc_all_affected
inc_entire /dev/vg00
exclude /var/adm/crash

 As suggested by you I will try the command and let you know.

Thanks for your reply.

[Pete Randall]

> it is only excluded /var/adm/crash

As expected, given the way the command was written.  The man pages state that the file name to be excluded can not end with a space, which is basically what you've got.  See what you get when you try the command the way I suggested.

[Arunabha Banerjee]

Hi Pete,

Thanks a lot... It's worked... I have faced a little issue because the whole command is longer than one line. So it was not excluding the all mount point.

So I have executed the command as below:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -Av -s IgniteServer -x inc_entire=/dev/vg00 -x exclude=/var/adm/crash \
-x exclude=/oracle -x exclude=/oracle/redo04/MVNOODSD -x exclude=/oracle/redo03/MVNOODSD \
-x exclude=/oracle/redo02/MVNOODSD -x exclude=/oracle/redo01/MVNOODSD -x exclude=/oracle/admin \
-x exclude=/oracle/MVNOODSD/d04 -x exclude=/oracle/MVNOODSD/d03 -x exclude=/oracle/MVNOODSD/d02 \
-x exclude=/oracle/MVNOODSD/d01 -x exclude=/mvno &

 I have checked the archive_content and recovery.log in the Ignite server and it excluded all the mount point based on the above command.

#cat archive_content
inc_all_affected
inc_entire /dev/vg00
exclude /var/adm/crash
exclude /oracle
exclude /oracle/redo04/MVNOODSD
exclude /oracle/redo03/MVNOODSD
exclude /oracle/redo02/MVNOODSD
exclude /oracle/redo01/MVNOODSD
exclude /oracle/admin
exclude /oracle/MVNOODSD/d04
exclude /oracle/MVNOODSD/d03
exclude /oracle/MVNOODSD/d02
exclude /oracle/MVNOODSD/d01
exclude /mvno

You can also specify a content file which contains all your include/exclude information.  See "man make_net_recovery" under the -f flag for specifics.
