Make_recovery Utility

[benindo]

I have installed HP-UX 11i from scratch. But after the installation, I could not find the make_recovery utility. Does anyone know where I could get that utility??. Thanks

regards,
benindo

It should be in:

/opt/ignite/bin/

Do a :

swlist IUX-Recovery

Should see:

# IUX-Recovery B.4.3.91 Ignite-UX network recovery tool subset
IUX-Recovery.Ignite-UX B.4.3.91 HP-UX System Installation Services

make_recovery is obsolete.

Look for make_tape_recovery

AFAIK from some version of ignite, there is no make_recovery anymore. It was split to 2 commands:
make_tape_recovery
and
make_net_recovery

make_recovery is obsolete and replaced by make_tape_recovery.
first check to make sure you have Ignite-UX B.x.x.xx on you server installed?

Hi,

The make_recovery utility you have installed is included in Ignite-Ux software. The version you have installed might be quite old the latest version is available for free at

http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=IGNITEUXB

Click on Receive for free and fill your personal details and download the depot and install. It also includes a checksum to verify that your download was successfull. Your depot might give some errors if checksum don't match.

HTH,
Devender

Unless the CDROM is dated 2005, it has an old copy of Ignite/UX. Rather than use the CDRM version, download the latest copy as mentioned above. The Ignite/UX product is very much dependent on CPU, disk and tape hardware. Unless you have old computers and never plan to add more recent models, always download the latest version at least 2x each year.

make_recovery option are incompatible with make_tape_recvoery. Here's a recommended command line for make_tape_recovery to bakup VG00:

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

Change 0mn to the appropriate tape drive.
