make tape backup in ignite

[Jay Gray]

I just rebooted the client and when I go to make tape recovery archive I get Do not have a valid hostname for system cipi4
when I went to boot the client I used the full
qualifying name. and had no problems contacting it to collect and reboot the client.
Is there a CL way to make tape recovery?

Dan,

Specifically what command are you using to create an ignite tape: make_recovery ..., make_tape_recovery ...., make_net_recovery?
It may have to do something with the LAN cards configuration.

Since you are using GUI, take a look at this:

PROBLEM
make_net_recovery makes ignite image with old host name

Both client and server are the same version of the HP-UX operating
system. The client machine was originally named "SystemA", and was
changed via set_parms, to "SystemB". When running:

# make_net_recovery -s [Ignite_Server] -x inc_entire=vg00

it ends up using "SystemA" and insisting the ignite server NFS mount
point be granted access that way.


RESOLUTION
First, to get the make_net_recovery to use a new hostname, verify that
the MAC address is not being set in the /etc/rc.config.d/hpetherconf
file. If so, remove the MAC address from the file.

If this is not the problem then we need to make sure that the client
icon is to deleted in the the corresponding directory. The
/var/opt/ignite/clients directory contains a symbolic link that
points to a directory that uses the client's Link Level Address (LLA).

For example:

drwxr-xr-x 3 bin bin 1024 Oct 13 09:58 0x0x0060B0F56CA2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 14 Oct 13 09:58 the_client -> 0x0060B0F56CA2

To remove the client icon:

1. Remove the symbolic link.

2. Move the LLA directory to another location, such as /tmp.

Note: The Ignite GUI screen will update in a few seconds, and the
client icon should be deleted.

3. Delete the LLA directory from /tmp.
