regard to "make_recovery" command

It is not clear to me what you mean.
make_recovery is one command of the Ignite-UX package which you can download and it is for free:

For hpux-11.11 you simply can use the 11.00 version as far as i know.

There are two other ways to get the same results:

make a full-bootable tape:
dd if=/usr/lib/uxbootlf of=/dev/rmt/0mn bs=2k
dd if=/dev/rdsk/1ss of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=64k
then normal full backup..
.. but i would not do it..

second method is to double-mirrored bootdisk (instead of tape).

try looking at the newer version make_tape_recovery or even make_net_recovery. There is a man page for each. These both offer some additional functionality.

If you are running 11.11, you should NOT be using make_recovery, you should be running make_tape_recovery!

Follow the link Ceesjan has provided for you and install the latest version, then do your make_tape_recovery - TWICE on TWO different tapes!

THEN, install the latest patch bundle!

The best way to create an ignite tape (make_tape_recovery) is the interactive method, meaning you have full control over a bootable tape similar to an installation.

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

(make sure you use the no-rewind device)
