make_recovery finished ..

[Manuales]

If i execute make_recovery -Av ... i can see many things doing during the execution ...
at the end i have this:
System Recovery Tape successfully created.

i can't understand , this is that information has been loaded on tape or it has created a file called tape o something else?

thanks, Manuales.

That means you now have a bootable tape from which will recover your vg00.

As an aside - though somewhat lengthy, this is a good doc to read "Ignite-UX Administration Guide":

Hi,

This is the confirmation message the the backup of the system as per the options defined with backup command has been completed. You can protect the tape as OS backup and can even test it.

For listing backed up files.

#mt -t /dev/rmt/Xmn rew
#mt -t /dev/rmt/Xmn fsf 1
#tar -tvf /dev/rmt/Xmn

(Where /dev/rmt/Xmn is the tape device file)

If after giving tar command once you need to recheck the contents then repeat all three steps listed above.

HTH,
Devender

hi manuales,

u should use make_tape_recovery as it is the new version of make_recovery which has since been obsoleted.

refer to this site for download:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/download.html

btw, i use:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

make sure -I is one of the arguments to prevent accidental system recovery incase u boot from a recovery tape by mistake.

u may also like to refer to this doc:

regards.

Hi !!

i had done many make_recoveries on some servers ... i have a doubt ...

what is the difference between 2 next commands:

/opt/ignite/bin/make_recovery
/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery

if i use make_recovery, what is the difference and advantage for a disaster with next sentences?

1.- /opt/ignite/bin/make_recovery -AvC
2.- /opt/ignite/bin/make_recovery -i
2.- /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Thanks, Manuales.

make_recovery and make_tape recovery are the same thing, but make_tape_recovery obsoletes make_recovery.

we use the -Avi switches.

A=vg00 volume group
v=verbose
i=interactive during recovery

Hi,

What is your IgniteUX and OS versions.

make_recovery and make_tape_recovery are same utilities, but different versions. make_recovery was used in older HPUX versions <=10.20 with the older IgniteUX package. Make_tape_recovery has come with the latest igniteUX, HPUX 11.00 onwards. There are a significant differences between these two commands with respect to the command switches.
I prefer you to download and install latest igniteUX and start using make_tape_recovery, if your OS is 11.00 and above. if you have IgniteUX version A.3.7.95 you can use make_tape_recovery with 10.20 also.

Sunil

Hi Manuales,

The make_recovery -Av command does the recovery ignite of the OS on the tape.

The -A option is specified to take the recovery of vg00.

and the v option gives u the verbose mode.

after giving the command it does the following
1. creates the local directory for config files
2. tests for anu pax patch requirements
3. Checks the ignite & OS version
4. backup config of the Volume group.
5. creates the archive config
6. And then create the tape archive

regards,
Krishna
